New PICS!
Got my hew pipes in last week.. V&H big shot staggereds. I had the SEII slip ons and they are nice, but these new V&H's are AWESOME! heres a pic on our ride on Talimena Drive here in Southeast OK, and another pic of us from a passenger on another bike in motion. I love these pipes so MUCH! 2005 FXDI by the way...
If anyone here wants nice loud pipes that look and perform well, i HIGHLY reccommend the V&H pipes!

RE: New PICS!
those are the pipes for me!!!!!!
is your bike FI or carb??
if it's FI, i assume (dangerous, i know) that you've had a re-map done.... any problems with deceleration popping?
noticable differance in HP and torque?
how about fuel consumption?
sorry for all the questions, but those pipes are pricey.
thanks (in advance) for the info!!!
that's a shaweet ride ya got there!!!!

Hey 2_up_FXDI
Is that a stock seat on your FXDI? How does your Lady like the ride? I have an 05 FXDC that came with the lower profile seat and it doesn't provide much cushion for the passenger I was considering getting the one like on yours and wanted to know if the ride was any better?
Thanks

RE: New PICS!
I had the remap done when I bought the bike before i ever took it home cause i had the SEII slipons added and a SE Aircleaner too. So these pipes didnt require anotehr one. I didnt think that they were pricy at all I paid $450 for them shipped, and intstalled. from (gasp) my local Yamaha shop. The owner is a good friend of mine and his guys are ex-harley techs. They left the local HD shop cause it blows. Yes the seat is stock, I added the detachable backrest when i got it, the wife loves it, but her big butt hits the top, so we are gonna get the 14" high sissybar soon..lol yes my bike is FI.. i notice a lil popping at decel, but no worse then the SEII's. These pipes are a tad bit louder as the rider, but when I twist the wick in town, i set off car alarms! I LOVE IT! but on the highway 1 or 2 up, they are not too bad at all. its a beautiful thing i think.. the sound of an AMERICAN BIG V-TWIN! I never dynod my bike before or after the new pipes, so i dont know if theres a REAL increase in HP/TQ, but it feels to me like the accel is considerably faster... As far as fuel consumption, its about the same, in town if i hotrod a lil, i get about 40, on the highway @ cruising speed, 1 up (60 mph) i get about 53 mpg, 2 up @ 60 mph i got about 48. These fuel milages are in the hills, it aint flat here in southeast OK..lol
All in all, i would have given more for these pipes.. they are beautiful, and they sound great to me! Thanks for the comments on the pics too everyone!
