Default Dealer ordered wrong pipes
Been waiting for new exhaust and today they came in, Only problem was they are the wrong ones. I ordered the Vance and Hines big Radius and they ordered the Big Shots Staggered. They told me that I could have 10% off the BSS or it will be another week to reorder the BR. I looked at the BSS on VH website and they look pretty cool. Not sure what to do. Anyone know how they sound? Told dealer I would let them know tomorrow. Any Ideas?

Thanks

Dan

Yeah, I'd wait for the others unless you think you like these others better now. There is such a thing as a happy accident.You definitlydon't want to be lookin at your bike later onwishin you had the original ones you wantedon it though... Worth the wait in this case.

I would wait for the pipes you really want. The BSS are nice to, but 10% is not enough for their mistake, I would hold out for at least 30%. If you decide to go with the BR I would ask for free installation to make up for the mistake. If not I would take my buisness some where else. $519.95 on ebay.

Same here. Love my BSS. Originally I was goin to get the BR but after hearing them on a buddies bike, changed my mind. No regrets what so ever. But if you were wantin and still want the BR, make them give you some of deal for your wait. Just my 2 pennies.

Tell the dealer to cut out the BS and get the ones you want.
