Default Big Radius?

This may have been discussed before, but who cares. I'm just sharing the joy. What does everyone think of their V&H Big Radius. I installed the ones I bought from sfetty here on the forum today. It has aftermarket baffles installed. Sfetty said they are BCT baffles. All I can say is, DAMN!! This bike sounds freakin great. Loud as hell and a nice tone to it. I talked to the techs at the local HD and all of them agreed that if you are changing either the intake or exhaust there was no need for a programmer on 09' up bikes. But if you cahnge both it is highly recommended that you run a programmer. I don't know what makes the 09' up models different but I went with what they said and just removed the PC-V. There is not pop on decel.

Looks good. Love mine as they look and sound right out of the box. I don't know what may be different about the 09's either. When I bought my pipes, the first question they asked me was if I had a fuel management device and would have pushed one on me had I not already had one. Added mine with V&H slipons because I was getting some popping. Reprogrammed it for the BR's and it runs great.

Got mine put on within two weeks of buying my bike, purely from how they looked. Woo Hoo!! These sound as great as they look! Don't know how to add a picture, but I put some in an album on here. They did remap, or a down load they already have set up for these bikes because I did put an air cleaner on too.

Great choice !!! I'd like to hear with the BCT Baffles too.
I have the baffles that came with them and they sound good.

I have a set of hooker rebels (longs) on the UPS truck as we speak. I hope to have mine on some time next week...maybe we can compare clips.

The headlight is from kcint http://kcint.zoovy.com/product/75-HL...Y_CUSTOMS.html. It is a 5 3/4" x 9" chromed aluminum. The turn signal relocation brackets I purchased from americanclassicmotors for $30.00 http://kcint.zoovy.com/product/85-TS...Y_CUSTOMS.html I only purchased the brackets but you gcan get an idea of what they look like from that link, and as far as I am concerned are better than the ones from HD or Kury. They are chrome plated metal which just clamp around the fork tubes with 2 allen head bolts.
