Default My New Pipes

Just finished up installing my new V&H Big Shots last night and thought I would share. I'm new to the form as well as being new to Harley. The performance boost combined with the V&H Fuel Pak is night and day. Not to mention, its super loud now.

Pipes look great as does the seat. The local HD dealer tells me they will need 3 hours of dyno time if they install a stage one on my FLSS. I assume the V&H Fuel Pak took care of that. I think I will go the same route with the fuel pak. Bike look great.

Love the big shots! Have them on mine and couldn't be happier! How do you like the passenger pillion? Been thinking about adding that...

The Fuel Pak is a great product, I don't have a stage 1 in yet so I picked a map the was close and set it to auto tune. I need to keep riding it so it will dial itself in, but so far so good. Monster power and no popping on decel !!

I like the passenger pillion doesn't look to bad, I picked that one because it was the widest I could find without going to a touring seat. The wife doesn't seem to mind it.

Is that the HD pillion, or an aftermarket item?

Cool bike. the big shots are a good choice. Good sound and they look good too.

How did you get Slim S tins for the standard Slim? It looks good with some chrome and other non black stuff.
