RE: Samson BG3 Pomonas
Sorry can't help you on the sound, etc but did notice Dennis Kirk had some Samson Pomonas on clearance a little while ago.
But you can't go wrong with the V&H Short Shot staggereds w/quiet baffles IMO.

Chip, thanks for the input. The VH Shortshots are my preferred option right now. I just saw some cheap used Samson Pomonas. I've always had VH exhausts on my previous 3 harleys and never had a complaint. Great quality, great sound and always look good too. Did the quiet baffles tone down the "tinny" sound of the short shots?

i had big shots on my '03 (the non staggered kind without the power chamber) and they were very "tinny" sounding. My brother had short shots on his '02 Nightrain (again the un-staggered ones). he removed the baffles and put in some replacment baffles (BCT i think). That bike was extremely loud and you basically went temporarily deaf when riding behind him for any length of time. there is a fine line between sounding great and being loud and just being plain annoying!

I have them on my 06 Deuce and there OK as far as sound goes you get a deep rumble like roar not tinny at all only thing I don't like is getting burned on the upper pipe. there supposed to have heat shields but don't count on it theses big guys are hot. So far I burned too rain gear pants, jeans and my calf twice. Looking for a heat shield that works or I'll dump them for something else.

there is a set of BG3's on my bike now. They have a design flaw. The heat shields are welded to the exhaust pipe. Mine have developed a crack in the exhaust pipe from vibration. I am going with V&H pipes now. They have clamp-on heat shields.
