Wish me luck
Just dropped off my new Orange/Black 09 FXDL to have Big sucker air cleaner, vance and hines fuel pak and black vance and hines side shots installed. I hope that I like and enjoy the set-up. I am curious to see how loud these side shots are. The sound should bounce off of the pavement since they are slanted at angle toward the ground. Hopefully I won't have any problems with the apt complex. The stock exhaust actually ddn't sound too bad to me.
I will let everyone know how this works.
I am excited because 1995 Softail Custom that I bought new while serving in Az was stolen in Oct 09 so this is kinda a new beginning for me.

Don't know about the side shots but, I just put a set of big shot staggered on my 09 low rider. I started it up in the garage with the door shut and I won't do that again. Those suckers are loud ! You should be able to motor away quietly in the mornings since the bike doesn't need to sit and idle to warm up. I just head down the block at a tad above idle and I don't think I'm really disturbing anyone. By the time I hit the main road a few blocks away the motor is warmed up and ready to go.

Thanx
Thanx for all of the support guys. I should be picking the bike up in a few hours. It has costs me enough money so I had better like those side shots. I did hear them a few times, not many people buy them. I live in San Antonio and most people have the short shots which are cool too, but I wanted something a little different. They should sound similar. The side shots just seem to just be bent into a different shape.

Verdict
Well I have to say that I am very satisfied with my bike!! Very good response and power. Since there isn't too much info on the V&H Sideshots, here is my opinion(I have the black ones): Very cool looking design, especially when put on a Dyna Lowrider!! They are PLENTY loud so if you want something quite I wouldn't go with the side shots, though they do sound very good to me. They have a nice throaty and mean bark to them in my opinion. They bark even when I crept through the apt complex this evening. I couldn't imagine running them without baffles!!
I will post pictures soon. Thanx to all that responded!
