Got rid of my Short Shots for the Side Shots and love them. Great look and love the sound. Good luck.

Good looking, Nice sound.

Down side, I have 11" rear shocks and the sideshots grind the road on roundabouts and fast right hand bends.

Up side, Its slowed me down, Which is why I got the Harley.

I'm happy with 'em too. I decided to go with the quiet baffles for a little deeper sound and a bit more backpressure. IMO, they're still plenty loud when you open the throttle.

I just got mine around 2 months ago and I LOVE THEM! By the way, I have some Rhinehart slip-ons that have over 12 thousand miles on them. Sound good but one has turned red. Make me an offer and pay shipping....and their yours.

I think you should get supertrapp 2-1 or D&D fatcats.... might as well put a smile on your face when you open her up(increased performance over 2-2 and the supertrapp is tunable).

If you ask me there ain't no better looking pipe for the Street Bob especially, and I ALMOST got them for my Fat Bob. I went back and forth on those and the Big Radius and finally got the Big Radius. And I STILL look at it and wonder why I didn't get the side shots.....oh, and they sound AWESOME on the bikes I have heard.

1+. It's also easy to rest your leg against them with forwards. I always wear long pants so it's not that big of a deal. I put the quite baffles in. I thought they kinda of sounded tinny before the quite baffles JMO.
