They are V-Twin CVO bags, and I liked the way the tips stick out beyond the bags.

 

Are you sure they were the 4"? For the price it'd save me a chunk of change. Looked at these the other day but haven't heard any yet.

 

I didn't measure them but that's what he said his paperwork said. Also said they were $500 which is the 4" price. The MK45's sound even better but are ~$200 more. I should see him this weekend so I'll try and confirm.

 

'Preciate that.

 

I'm still running stock pipes, but had planned on getting the S&S MK45 paired with that Vance and Hines X pipe header, and a Fuelpak 3 tuner. Also still waiting on a air cleaner set up like the Big Sucker I have on my Wide Glide.

 

I think these S&S MK 45's may be the perfect pipe for a Touring Bike. At 50 - 60 mph, they purr quietly and your ears are not getting hammered. Let's face it, if you're on the highway for 6 hours, loud pipes are not fun,

However, when you get on the gas, they really open up nicely with great tone. They look great. The downside is they are not inexpensive - and they are quite heavy, at least 40% heavier than the 4" Vance and Hines Twin Slash I had on the bike previously.

 

I love my Street Cannons and my wife does too but the deeper tone of the S&S's is appealing. Wish I could hear the MK's in person but there's just not that many around.

 

Agreed. I love the sound of mine when you hit the throttle. I don't necessarily want louder sound, but I would love more lope at idle, which isnt a result of the MK45's, but more so of just the M8 motor I and the stupid cat headers.

 

Steel - As it turns out these were the MK45's (4.5"). Dealer knocked $200 off retail since he bought them with the bike. He has the decibel reducer baffle in and they sound great.

 

Well ive been running mine for approximately 200 miles now and all I can say is holy crow. Not running the db killers but I am running the stick header with cat. I love the sound at idle and cruise and twisting the throttle. Extremely happy with them. I heard them not long after I bought my bike and knew then that they were the ones I wanted.
