RE: Pipe suggestions?
depends if you want sound id go either back with samsons, mail back the pipe and they will prob give ya a new one or go to jirehcycle.com and pick up a set of their big growls (super cheap)also made by samson cheap but if you want performance you have to go D&\\;D better than thunderheader and Rinehards, to many guys have those on their rides. just FYI.

Lots of pipes out there, but for the money, I would try these.
Porker was bought out by V&\\;\\\\\\;H and production stopped so DK is selling them cheap. I just
bought a set and they are as loud as Samsons.

RE: Pipe suggestions?
I had the same setup I see on yout scooter. \\; Using the existing modified light assembly I got the attached results. \\;
 \\;
What I did was remove the indicator assembly, then the eyebrow/light assembly. \\; I them used a small band saw to cut off the brow along the molding lines on the back. \\; I them took a half round file to make the curves for the risers. \\; Did a little finish filing, polishing, and reinstalled the bracket backwards with the same hardware. \\; I then reinstalled the indicator light assm. (in reverse of course) \\;
 \\;
I then installed the new billet light assembly I ordered from the HD catalog. \\; This required drilling a 3/8" hole in the lower triple tree. \\; I used a front motor mount bolt thru to the lamp mounting bracket. \\; I spliced the wires and hid the connections under the gauge cluster. \\;
 \\;
Thats it, judge the results for yourself.

Peace,
