I just added a free flow air cleaner, not sure if I should go with slip-ons or V&H big radius exhaust system. What are the advantages and disadvantages with both?
Mate. Get the V&H. I have the staggered Big Shots. Awsome sound. Forget the slip ons. Nothing looks better than a full aftermarket system. You wont be dissappointed. You wont have to worry about so called noisy engine/gears syndrome.
I have to say go with the full set. Of course I vote for the V&H. I was going to go with the BR but a friend had BSS on his Fatty. I liked the sound and look, so that is what I went with.
rush for slipons, V& H for full....if money not an issue go full pipe
Can't get said easier than that. My delema is that I WANT two sets. I was soooooo torn between the V&H Big Radius and the Big Shots Staggard. I went with the BSS, but every time I look at Texas Fatboy's bike I wish there were a quick-disconnect so I could swap between moods that I'm in.
I think we all assume Pat that you know NOT to add pipes without being ready for fuel handling changes now that you already have a high-flow a/c on. Not sure what needs to be adjusted by adding the slip-ons, but full pipe changes REQUIRE that you do something.
