Congrats on the new ride. I have an 02 and love it. I'm also not sold on the new FXDWG, the old style looks like what I always thought a Harley should.

Thanks all. I agree with a lot of your opinions on the new vs. previous WG generation. The new iteration is a bad a$$ looking power cruiser, but not the "long and lonesome highway" bike that I like.

J&P has a couple V&H pipes on sale for a pretty decent price. Double Barrel Q-Series, Straight Shots, and Competition Drag. The Bassanis on the bike now sound really good, but I know the wife won't like sitting on the bike with them. I'm considering the Double Barrels... OR, the Straight Shots with quiet baffles.

Thoughts?

On my way to go pick up the service manual.

I just put Straight Shots on mine and really like how they look and sound.

I have SEII on mine, and they sound good, quieter than some Louder than others. All my bikes have been pretty loud, so most likely I am either going to trade these out, or install Big City Thunder baffles, for a noise and HP gain.
