Talking Well I did it!
I went to a local Indy shop today and ordered a set of V&H Straightshot Slipons. They should be in by Tuesday/Wednesday of next week. Now all I need is some fairly warm weather to install them. God I can't wait.........it's been a long winter!

We put some of those on my wifes Dyna. They sounded great. There was a slight backfire on decel when the bike got warm, a tuner should fix that.

I really like mine. IMO they're the best looking slip-ons. I was really surprised how much the bike woke up after installing them. Those stock mufflers must have been a hell of a restriction.
