Freedom Performance HD03389 — Independence Shorty, new manufacturer part number from Kimberly’s current workbook, matched to the exact website configuration reference. Finish: BLACK. Manufacturer tip-option selection: Straight / GLOSSY BLUE.
Fitment: Narrow-frame Harley-Davidson Softail M8, 2018 and later, limited to the manufacturer-listed applications: NARROW FRAME, SOFTAIL STANDARD (FXST), STREET BOB (FXBB), STREET BOB 114 (FXBBS), LOW RIDER (FXLR), LOW RIDES S (FXLRS), LOW RIDER ST (FXLRST), HERITAGE CLASSIC (FLHC), HERITAGE 114 (FLHCS), SLIM (FLSL), SPORT GLIDE (FLSB), DELUXE (FLDE). Not a wide-tire application. Confirm exact model and installation requirements before ordering.
Tips sold separately: The manufacturer states that standard tips and optional straight tips are sold separately. The option labels identify this exact orderable manufacturer offer; they do not establish an included tip kit or complete component list. Confirm required tips and supporting parts before ordering.
The manufacturer lists mounting hardware and brackets and O2 ports and plugs for early models. O2 ports do not mean O2 sensors are included. Quiet-baffle compatibility references do not mean quiet baffles are included.
Gasket requirement: The manufacturer requires a flat gasket for 2025-and-later Softails. This is a required accessory, not a claim that a gasket is included.
The older 1986–2017 instruction reference on the manufacturer page is not a verified M8 installation guide. Confirm the correct current installation instructions with Freedom before fitting.
Special order: built when ordered. Manufacturer production estimate is 4–6 weeks, not a guaranteed delivery date. Catalog availability is not a supplier warehouse-stock count.
Restrictions: USA and Canada only, excluding California. Closed-course competition use only.
