Default New Fat Bob owner

Just got my 2009 Fat Bob with only 500 miles on it. Owner was a businessman with no time to ride it.

He has a Vance & Hines Big Radius 2 into 1 exhaust on the bike and honestly it's not my style.

Since the bike is black, I'm looking to get a blacked out exhaust. Can't really make up my mind right now, so I need help.

Looks wise, the Samson Street Sweepers look great, but how's the sound and performance.

I want something throaty. I don't want obnoxious loud, but when I crank the gas, I want people to know I'm around

I have the same bike with black V & H Big Radius 2 into 2s. They look good and have a nice sound.

Oh, congrats on the bike!

Hey there zird00.

The previous owner put on the chrome V&H'es, so it kinda looks out of place. I want to black out the bike as much as possible with a few embellishments of chrome here and there.

Congrats on the new Fatbob! I like the big radius. I went back and forth between the big shots and big radius and got the big shots. But I like both. You could also try baffles for a quieter sound.

I have V&H short shots. But if you don't like it loud and slightly obnoxious, forget about it. But I really like them and they get all sorts of attention.

Congrats on new bike!

Good choice in bikes - you'll enjoy it. Try a YouTube search on the Street Sweepers and you should come across a couple of clips with sound that might give you an idea of what you're looking for. Good luck.
