Default Refresh my “cycle shack” memory please

iirc:
the now defunct “cycle shack” brand of exhaust and mufflers had a rep for decent sound/performance at a reasonable price point
before aftermarket exhaust prices went far north?

thank you for your input


edit: note my lack of superlatives, did not use “best” / “greatest” etc
lol

Not sure what your asking, but Cycle Shack pipes are my go to for shovels, they fit, they have decent performance and exhaust note right out of the box and they usually held up well to the test of time & use.

Used to a set of pipes for just under $200, double that now of look alike knock off's that are always off a bit fit wise.

For what it's worth never had a bad or ill fitting set of cycle shack pipes for any bike I've put them on or tuned for. Shame they went under.
