Default Which Exhaust for a Cross Bones?

Hi everyone,
&nbsp\\;
This is my first post. I bought a Vivid Black Cross Bones about a month ago.&nbsp\\; My brother bought a Blue Rocker C at the same time.&nbsp\\; He just put V&amp\\;H Big Radius 2 into 2 on his rocker and it sounds great.&nbsp\\; I think the look goes with his bike too.&nbsp\\; I want to know your&nbsp\\;thoughts on which exhaust I should put on my Cross Bones?&nbsp\\; I like the big radius sound but don't know about the look for the Cross Bones.&nbsp\\; Show me your exhaust pics on your bones and tell me what you think about yours if you would?
&nbsp\\;
Thanks,
&nbsp\\;
Mike

Black, I don't have any pics, but I got my Bones a bout two weeks ago and it still has the stock pipes on it.&nbsp\\; If you do a search on here you'll see a lot of cross bones with different pipes on them.&nbsp\\; The ones I am going to put on are the V&amp\\;H staggered short shots in black of coarse.&nbsp\\; I think one of the posters on here, White Guy, has them on his and they look good.&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;

BlackDiamondBones sounds familar to me. I bought the Olive bones, Bro bought the black Rocker C. He also put the VH Big Rad 2/2 on his. Those pipes just fit that bike, He used the bracket from the forum member here fit like a glove!
Back to the Bones exhaust,&nbsp\\;I was in same boat couldnt decide on an exhaust. The Blacked out VH Big Rad look great but i have a bad enough time keepn the dust off the rear rim as it is(rock parking lots [:@]). I was looking for a deep exhaust tone at idle and a nice tone at cruise. I chose the rush 2.0 slip ons= looks stock but doesnt sound stock. Reason, Im bettn that next spring there is gonna be something out&nbsp\\;thats really gonna look like it belongs on the Bones. Not saying that all the other dont look good just im looking for something else and just havnt found it.
The Rush bolted right up and brought the Bones alittle life with it. Also installed the PC III and AN Big Sucker. It sure puts a smile on my face now when I crack the throttle, NO MORE QUIET BONES![8D]
