Thanks, I like the Vance and Hines as well. In fact, my Harley Service Tech suggested those as well. Your bike looks great ... hope I will be seeing the same on mine!

I rode with a guy the other day who had V&H true duals on his Street Glide and they sounded sweet. Not real loud at idle, but when he rolled the throttle they had a really deep bark.

Haven't seen the samson. I put V&H on my Deluxe with a V&H fuel pac and k&n breather.

Installation went great and the bike runs great. I think I have a little more jam, certainly no less.

I have the standard baffles with fishtail tips. They are loud but I love it.
