Use a hair dryer to loosen up the glue and just pop them off. Use WD-40(will not hurt the paint) to get the glue residue off. Piece a cake

Default yes the ones that twist around each other are the Shockwaves..

... the main reason I took the V&H Big Radius's off was I didn't find them to be loud enough to my liking. Friend I have recommended the Shockwaves and they were louder and they also gave me almost 5 more horses and also more torgue. I did have them put on at the dealer and dyno'd . Also I started to notice that every Rocker I saw, they all ahd the V&H BR so I went with a different look which in the long run is a better pipe as far as I'm concerned. Plus they look sweet on the bike, get a set you will not regret it ... when or if you do post a pic...take care bro!

Default Sorry ...

...you asked for an estimate that thay might set you back...$700 for the pipes...$400 for the pro super tuner.... $400 for them to put it on the dyno...$230 for the different air breather...and whatever they charge you for labor
