Default Martin Bros. Shockwaves

I am tired of looking at my V&H BSS on my & every other bike. I like the look of the Martin Brothers Shockwaves. Anybody tried them, & how does the sound & quality compare to V&H. I have the quiet baffles in my BSS & do like the deep rumble they produce. I assume I would have to get my pcIII remapped.

Shockwaves are a little busy for my taste.

Looks good Tom. I'm leaning to the shockwaves or daisycutters, not sure which. I also have a SE heavy breather (not yet installed), do you still need a fuel pak with that set up? Also, Tom do you have your ares on now? If so, lets see!

You can get the Shockwaves in four different styles: 1) Chrome Pipes/Black Ceramic heatshields, 2) Chrome Pipes/Chrome heatshields, 3) Black Ceramic/Chrome Heatshields (the ones I have coming), and 4) Black Ceramic/Black Ceramic Heatshields. I got them cause I wanted something different for my Rocker C and it looks like almost everyone is puttin on the V&H Big Radius. I also think the lines fit the Rocker better.

My understanding is that if you are just putting the pipes on you will not have to remap, but if you are putting on a new air cleaner and pipes you will.
