540R Laterals – Rearset-Compatible 2-Into-2 Exhaust for Harley Sportster
The 540R Laterals Exhaust is a rearset-compatible version of the original 540° Laterals, designed for riders seeking maximum performance, clearance, and customization. This 2-into-2 system maintains the signature 180° front pipe and 360° rear pipe layout, while ensuring proper clearance for rearsets and mid controls.
Not compatible with forward controls.
Built for durability and performance, the 540R Exhaust is crafted from hand-TIG welded 304 stainless steel and features internally ceramic-coated tubing for improved heat management. The exhaust undergoes multiple fitment tests during production to ensure a perfect fit on all compatible Sportster models (1986-2022+).
Customize your setup with options for segmented welds ("pie cuts"), O2 bungs, and various tip styles (45°, 90°, slash cut, teardrop, or straight tips).
