Default Joker machine pipes on softail?

Hey guys...has anyone ever seen, used, bought, or heard of the Joker Machine pipes in black? I received my new J&P cycles catalog and was skimming thru it and saw these pipes. They are $519. I really love the hooker troublemakers, the v/h sideshots, and the BR but just looking for a nice set of pipes in black that will compliment my crossbones. Not gonna buy anything for a couple of months but just wanna get some feedback. I know there is another thread on the hookers and BR. Just wanted your alls opinions on the jokers....if anyone has the catalog its on page 187. Thanks!

i had those pipes on my last softail, they were awsome if you like loud. They look great and perform well. The only problem I had with them is if you're planning on lowering your bike they will scrape if you take a turn hard. Other than that they're great.

They will fit but the reason they say they wont is because they dont have bungs for the 02 sensors. I put a set on my buddies 07 train and I had to weld in the bungs then sprayed them with fire proof spray paint to cover up the welds. Other than that they will bolt up. They werent to loud but they did kick up a sh_t load of dust, and they scrap when turn hard and if y9our scotter is lowered.

They are (were) V&H big radius,but I got sick of scraping them everywhere I went, so I chopped them. Notice I kinda put the joker pipes cut on mine.

damn...those things scrape too? They look really good the way you modified them. Man, do the Hooker troublemakers scrape also? I may have to lean towards the v&h short shots?
