Default V&H power duals with HO or Monster Rounds or Oversized 450

Bike has stage 1 with the ham can SE breather.
I am currently running the power duals with Bassani inverted slip ons on my CVO but have been looking at a set of HO on here for sale. Does anybody know the difference between the 3 above and what would work best with my 110 motor along with the power duals?? I had read the HO's have less back pressure so you lose power....

I went from FatShotz to HO's and lost some low end on my 110". On the CVO forums, they are notorious for low end loss. My bike became sluggish under 3000 RPM. I think the standard bike may not be the right application performance-wise. I think they're meant for massive high TQ/HP bikes. They look and sound great, and may breath a little better on the top end, but you'll take a low end hit depending on what you had. I felt like I could pull a horse trailer with the FatShotz, but they are ugly and sound like a Goldwing.

I am running the HO's and I have the same problem as you do scott7d on my modded 103. I will be pulling them off and going with different slip ons.

I think for the right application, they would be great. And man, the looks and sound..........awesome! Deepest rumble I've ever heard, but great volume at cruising speed so you can still hear the radio. Personally, I'd rather sacrifice some sound and looks for that low end power.
