The Hooker pipes look good on there. Why are you thinking about changing them?

just for a change they weren't my first choice at all but I got such a good deal on them I couldn't Pass them up.They are a little tough to park with here in new york the curbs are pretty high and I can't back all the way up but other than that I like them just looking for a different look.

V&H longshots are nice pipes, great sound. Had them years ago on my (gulp) Roadstar.

I like the Hookers on your bike though, IMO I would go for "other" items. I do understand the want of changing pipes all the time though!
