Default Vance & Hines Big Radius for Baggers?

I noticed in American Bagger Vance & Hines is advertising the Big Radius exhaust for baggers now. Anyone have them? How do they fit with the passenger footrest on the right side? I like the different look compared to most bagger exhausts and wouldn't mind trying them if they are getting good reviews.

How do they sound???

They would have to just suck on a bagger. I thought the sound sucked on my Fat Boy. More of a hi pitched cracling sound. They would look flat out stupid on a bagger. Here is my Fat Boy with Big Radius and my Street Glide with Rinehart True Duals. The Rineharts sound WAAAAY better believe me!

Of course, that is your opinion. I think they look slick, and i would not mind having them on my bike. I also really like that radius 2-1 that they make. I don't think they have it for a bagger, yet, but if they did, I would be all over it...

I passed a bike with the big radius pipes on the freeway this week. Holy crap was it loud. I got turned off as soon as I heard how loud they were. You also got to relocate the passenger right side peg up a little higher. I love the look on a bagger, but the noise was too much.
