07BLKBOB:
Big Radius 2-1
Cons:
Too quiet, but maybe you can modify the baffle.
Passenger footpegs (if you even have any) may need to be raised up a few inches to install. I don't know how comfortable that would be for the passenger.
Pros:
Look real nice!
Should be good performance wise.

It depend on what you want out of your pipes, performance or looks. Do you plan on doing any future motor work? I had V&H Bigshots for a few years on my Lowrider as an 88" & then as a 95". The pipes look great & sound even better. I got a great deal on a V&H 2-1 Propipe & I can tell you that the performance gain is significant, especially at the low end. They don't sound or look as good IMHO, but I like performance. Another way to keep performance w/ a 2-2 pipe is w/ the Cycle Shack M series slip-ons. They also sound good & are inexpensive. All depends on what your aspirations & desired end results are. Alot of guys spend big $$$ having to redo stuff becuase they didn't consider future upgrades.

I love my SideShots. Great sound, unique look, full heat shields, and easy to install. One warning though, if you're short and find yourself hugging the tank to reach for your pegs, they SideShots might not be for you.

Question:
How do you manage the o2 sensor? My '06 Street Bob has one, and the pipes I want are not ported for it. Can it be eliminated?
