Slip on poll/advice

I am looking to get a set of slip on's for my 2010 street bob. Looking for better performance and of course that harley sound. Having a hard time deciding what to get. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks
Chris

I ran the Rush 1.75 slip-ons for a while and liked them, now they are sitting in the attic with my stock cans. They had a much better sound than stock, but no real performance gain.

If you looking for performance save yourself some money and just go straight to a good 2:1 full exhaust, high flow AC, and an EFI tuner, even if you have to save up a while. This way you will have some real performance gain up front and be better positioned to start into engine mods down the road.

I concur! Good things come to those who wait!

But if I had to choose, it would be the V&H Straight Shots

Im thinking of a set of black slip ons. What would you recomend Rush or the Bub Rinehart, I see advertised at a closeout price? Don't mean to hijack post just seemed close to same question.

I first tried the V&H, they were OK but expensive and I wasn't crazy about them. So on the advice of a good buddy I threw a set of Cycle Shacks slash cuts. The bike runs and sounds much better. Not to mention they were $140.

Do yourself a favor and save your money get a full exhaust. It will run, look, and sound 10 times better. Even if you buy slip-ons now, you will end up buying a full exhaust later anyway. If you end up buying slip-ons, check out D&D's. I had a set of slash cut and they sounded great and had good performance. I just took them off to put on a full exhaust. Something I should have done from the beginning.
