Default Side Shots?

Anybody running these? I have an 07 NT and have been looking at the black line from V&H.
Seems everyone has the Big Radius on their Trains. Any pro/cons on the side shots.

Has anyone actually received a black line exhaust or are they still back ordered?

Thanks
S/F

I've got a set of the chrome sideshots on the way for my Deuce. Like you said, the Big Radius looks great, but EVERYBODY has them. The sideshots SHOULD be better on power than the BR too because of the "power chamber". I'll have mine this Thursday, so I'll post back with my initial impressions. Seems to me though that everyone always has good to say about V&H fit, finish and sound, so I'm expecting I will be quite pleased.

Quite a few of the Nightster owners have the black line... Might want to tip-toe on over there and ask around... Other than that... 2 : 2 is most always better for performance.

All,
Thanks for the input. I'm in no hurry so plenty of time to shop around.

Umm... 2:1 is actually better for performance. Propipe, Rinehart 2:1, Fatcat, etc... they are better for performance than a 2:2. Oh, and thunderheader. They make that one in black too.

Personally, I'm not too worried about performance though. But, any increase I get from my sideshots will, of course, be welcomed.
