I agree, the short shots do look good, but everyone does have them. I saw some Bassani Street Sweepers on a Nightster and they looked awesome as well.
When I bought my bike it had Thunderheaders already on it and when I saw pics of it, I thought I would get rid of the pipes. Luckily I really like the pipes in person and it makes the bike that much more unique... Not to mention they are performance pipes, so that never hurts.
