Default Pipes for the Rocker...What and When?

I called Vance and Hines a month ago. They stated they were beginning to work on the "factory sanctioned" pipes (some have already installed the big radius and BR 2-1) finalized. The dude stated it could be a month or so until they get it completed. You can most likely get the current pipes to fit with some minor modifications, but V & H stated they would not cover any of these under warranty.

I'm willing to wait awhile longer, as I really like the BR pipes. Any have any update on these pipes? I guess I could call V & H again, but thought some of you might have already talked to them.

Also, what other pipes do you think would look good on my Blue Rocker-C?

John

I have the same word as you on the BR pipes. I haven't seen any other pics of the Rocker with different pipes. There was a guy working with Photoshop who was able to picture the bike with the BR pipes and some other mods. They look great, I plan to swap my stock pipes out as soon as they are available.

I stopped by my local HD dealer. He stated he would call the tech line at Vance and Hines and try to get the update.

Yaffe's or Martin Bros. would look sick on a Rocker.

Try out Wicked Brothers, performance or OEM series. Any one of those pipes would look good, about 8 to choose from. They are all 2-1 though but that is what I like.

Spoke with a tech from V&H last week (looking for Big Radius 2-2). Said wouldn't have them out until Apr or May because they needed to be tested.

Mike,

I kind of thought that...One of my local guys is installing them already. I told them I want to wait to have them covered under warranty. Not sure I can wait that long, as the stock pipes are pretty embarrasing[8D]

I just checked with Hooker for some Troublemakers, but they don't have anything for Rockers either. From my conversation with the tech, it didn't seem like they were in a rush to get them done either.

GrampsWyat, Are you familiar with the quality and sound of the Wicked Bros or was your recommendation based on style?

I think the rocker didn't sell so well and with that, aftermarket manufacturers aren't going to put much time or money into R&D for products. Might be stuck with a very limited selection or shelling out for custom fab.
