 hink Martin Bros. and you immediately think wild, one-off custom bikes–and the swoopy custom exhausts that Joe Martin dreams up to go with them. Beautiful custom exhausts, too. For good reason those Martin Bros. pipes show up on plenty of name-builder projects, the kind of high-end bikes that end up on magazine covers and TV shows. The stuff of dreams.Those dreams can now be real for just about anyone. Martin Bros. exhausts aren’t limited to just custom builds. Martin Bros. pipes, the same ones the pros pick for their bikes and in all the popular styles, are in the FatBook. And right alongside those custom applications there are pipe-sets galore for direct fitment on all the Softails and Dynas. An OE Harley matched up with a pair of Martin Bros. pipes instantly becomes anything but OE. The look is pure custom, one-of-kind. And here’s the kicker. All those Martin Bros. exhausts are now available at prices that are downright enticing. That’s right, this season the price tags have been cut across the board. Martin Bros. pipes, those coveted boutique exhausts once the exclusive domain of the high-dollar/money-is-no-object crowd are now priced to meet the pocketbook of the average rider. Want Martin Bros. custom? You can have it now. More good news. Those affordable Martin Bros. exhausts now come with baffles. Noise is a big issue these days and this hasn’t gone un-noticed by the guys from Texas. Now baffled, every Martin Bros. exhaust still gets the message across, only now it’s coming without that annoying open-pipe roar that draws all the wrong kind of attention. You know, that obnoxious window-rattling sound guaranteed to earn plenty of fix-it tickets from the boys in blue. The baffles don’t cut the power, they don’t cut the tone–they just do away with all the hassles associated with regular wide-open drag pipes. And they sure don’t mess with the look. That’s pure Martin Bros. And all that Martin Bros. style is in the FatBook. There are special-build applications, there are LSD and RSD pipe-sets and there are plenty of direct-fit OE replacements pipes for the most popular Harley models. Softails, Dynas, the works. Depending on the application and style selected the pipes come with stepped headers measuring 1.75-in./2.0-in./2.25-in. or 1.75/2.0 or 1.75-in./3.0-in. or 1.75/2.25 or 1.75/2.0/3.0. There are systems using the standard transmission mount, there are heat shields and there are those baffles, now standard. Pick a Martin Bros. style, the Skirtliftas, the Ghetto Blasters, the Curb Feelers, the Medustas, the WTFs, the Daisycutters, Draggsters or the Trendkill. They’re all in the FatBook. Right along with the Zoomies, Zig-Zags and Blistas. If the Martin Bros. make it, Drag Specialties has it with applications for ‘86 and later Softails, the Dynas and custom rigids. And by mid-year all those LSD pipes will come with mounting bungs for the O2 sensors. This is custom like you never thought possible. Not at these prices. Naturally all the pipes come complete with mounting brackets and hardware. Check out the new FatBook. The Martin Bros. are there and best news of all, the price is right.  |
