Which length of pipes are on your bike and what you're saying V&H gives you all the mounting brackets to attach them to the trans?

The illustration on the jcmotors webpage does not show V&H StraightShots. I don't know what they are, but they're not StraightShots.

The illustration on the phatperformance webpage does show StraightShots.

Sometimes vendors don't get the illustrations right and in fact, have the correct product but I'd verify that first.

V&H gives the buyer all the brackets they need to mount the pipes. In this case the brackets will be different from stock. The V&H Straightshots don't use a transmission mount. They use the passenger footpeg to hang a dogbone that connects to the same type of gentle zig-zag bracket as used by Harley to connect the two mufflers on the original systems.

Here's what they look like on my bike.
