Softail Duals for Xbones
Hi folks,
I got my 08 Xbones last week and I have been riding it almost every day. Great Bike. I am looking to change the pipes and I was considering the V&H Softail Duals to give the bike some nostalgic look but my only concern in they are too thin. Does any body has those pipes on any Xbones or any softail for that matter? I need feedback on the sound and looks if you have it.
Any other suggestions to other brands of true duals that could be of a bigger radius to give a more aggressive look?
Thank you.

Samson would look nice, but there are a smaller diameter than the vance and hines. I have the straight pipe fishtail slip ons and they sound killer. I think they would complement your bike nicely. The baffles version of the fishtails they make has a biger radius on the slip on portion, but the vance and hines still look fatter.

I have a 08 Heritage, I recently added a set of Samson True Duals with the 4" mufflers. I really like them, sound great and I like the looks of mufflers under the saddle bags. I also have a set of V&H on my other bike but I wasn't totally happy with the quality of V&H's. The bigger mufflers may not look right on the x-bones. Buy what is right for you. Their not cheap. I bought mine from american classic motors and they gave me a good deal. IMO.

I've got an '08 Cross Bones with V&H True Duals, with the Fish Tail Tips. Have the S.E Super Tuner for fuel management. I was going for the "throw back" look. The sound is AWESOME!! With the Hi-Flow air filter, this puppy gets up and goes. Plan to make a few more changes. 14" or 16" apes, (internal wiring for a clean look), and I'd like to find the right spot light/turn signal bar for more lighting up front, but it's got to keep the "nostalgic" look. Still looking for ideas for the seat, and I'll make something to replace that Stupid plastic pan the MoCo puts under the seat. The V&H pipes are pricey, but I'm more than happy with them. Hope this helps in your search.
