Pissed off, factory pipes
Hate riding with these pipes. I have a new 2007 Street Bob, i've had a **** load done to it , it's almost where i want it to be......Waiting for my V & H Big Radius, but my dealer says the stage 1 kit is on backorder, it's been 4 weeks now. Everytime i go out for a ride i feel like i'm on a lawnmower, somebody make me feel better ....tell me about their Vance & Hines.

RE: Pissed off, factory pipes
there once was a motorcycle that couldn't breathe, and no matter how hard the little cycle tried, it just couldn't keep up with all its friends.
One day the little cycle got to go to the Dr. to see if his breathing problem could be fixed.
The Dr. said he could fix the little cycle, but it would cost money and there was a waiting list... you see... All the little cycles out there have breathing problems and there are just not enough replacments to be had.
All the little cycle could do is appreciate itself for what is was, and take comfort that it wasn't the only cycle out there that couldn't breathe.
Some day.... just maybe... there will be enough replacement parts available for this little cycle to breathe right.
if that day comes, and come it will, the little cycle will have grown into a big machine and it will be able to keep up with all its older friends..... and it will ride and ride and ride... and live happily ever after.

It's better than last year when the stuff was just starting to trickle out. I waited for months to get my big bore kit, forward controls and pipes installed.

My Wide Glide sounded so much like a sewing machine out of the showroom floor that I asked my dealer if he had a Singer tank badge for it.
My V&H SideShots look, sound, and perform great. For pure sound only in an inexpensive mod, Big city Thunder baffles can't be beat.
