This looks like a setup that would put one tip on either side, if anyone can confirm this ill go ahead and buy it

i cant find any info online about this and cobra doesnt make it anymore

That looks like a Nomad setup; you might want to run the part # by Cobra and see; if they are from a Nomad, and if you are handy with tools and welding, you could make them fit.

I just emailed them. What would be the difference between them if it is for a nomad?

If that doesn't work out, the V&H Longshots can be converted to duals: http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/vhbag.html (http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/vhbag.html)

When I did mine, I had to modify the crossover and make the left hanger bracket to get them to mount even; same distance from bike, how far beck, etc. I was using Vance and Hines Longshots though; those being Cobras, not sure how they will mount up.

A hanger bracket is np since ill have to do it on both sides anyways...

What did you have to modify on the crossover bracket?

The rear headpipe crosses over to the left; without mods, it sat about 1/2inch from the face of the tire; also mounted the muffler about 1 inch closer to the bike than the front muffler, and about an inch farther back. It required cutting the crossover pipe in 3 pieces, shortening it to give more tire clearance, and lengthening it to move the muffler out from the bike to match the front pipe and muffler. This was on Vance and Hines Longshots; the Cobra will likely be the same.

Hope this helps;
