Default Paughco Bell Tip slip-ons

Just fitted these to my Softail Slim

I had V&H Big Shots Staggered, but after fitting I decided that I didn't prefer the look and the sound was too loud/booming for me, even with the 'quiet' baffles inserted.

So I saw a couple of other forum members with these Paughcos and I've always like the more retro look... so I bought a pair.

The y not only look great (I think!) but the sound is perfect for what I wanted - that real 'old-style' Harley noise, louder than stock but no way is it 'too loud'.

Fo anyone interested, you can also buy any generic 40mm mute/baffle if you do want them quieter... but I doubt you would.

Anhoo, here's a couple of pics and a video for the sound...

What I love is when you're at a junction and turn your head to look right, you get a nice ear-full of classic Harley burble... not the head-pounding 'boom-boom-boom' of the V&H

Each to their own, but I love these Paughcos!
