Default X Bones Exhaust

What do you think would look good, I wanted a 2 into 1 large radius by V&H, but I dont think they would go with the retro look of the bike. So now im thinking of the Rinehart cross back. I really like the look of those, more updated look but they still have the drag pipe style also.

I definately say keep with the older "style" exhuasts that are short and straight. If yours is black I'd go with something black as well. Something like a short shot staggered in black. I like those new rinehearts too but hey are a bit too much money for me.

i agree with staying simple with the exhaust. i've got a black denim xbones and i've ordered a set of v&h black short shots for her. just looks like those pipes belong on it. after saying that i also think that the v&h black big radius would look great as well, no so traditional but really cool looking....

Im keeping stock and adding rush slip ons, I think the xbones looks so cool with the longer pipes. I thought about some of the aftermarket stuff, and the vance and hines black where not around the era or the style of when this style bike was developed and designed after, i'm most likely wrong about that comment.

The Fuel Pak DOES NOT WORK with the cross bones.. Doesn't fit, and doesn't work. Have to go with one of the Harley downloads on this bike.

I just brought my Bones back in for stage one and the pass pillion and sissy bar as well as the low profile windshield, got a call yesterday they needed me to come in, not a good call. The Sampson upswept fishtails hit the turn signals, won't fit. They looked so good on the bike I decided to have them take off the turn signals and put on the Kuryakyn taillight with built in turn signals, I think it will actually look better with a cleaner look, I'll post some pics next week, just waiting on the tail light to come in.
Just a heads up if anyone else is thinking this route.

"Upswept fishtails" should be really killer looking on the X-Bones. [sm=goodidea.gif]
I can't wait to see them on there.
