Default Help Me Pick Some Pipes

i know the direction i wanna go with my bike as far as the style/theme.

i'm looking for that classic look with a modern twist.

the pipes i've got stuck in my head are the vance and hines big shots staggered. i can't really think of any other style. i keep looking but either don't know where to look at or don't like what i see. if you got any good places to find pipes that fit the style i'm lookin for please let me know.

otherwise, what ya think of the BSS? think they'll go well with the direction i'm going?

Vance and Hines longshots are nice too. They have a classic look.

V&H BSS seems to be THE most polpular pipe out there! Truth is, IMO I think they look perfect. I have looked at many other pipes just because I wanted to be different, but I keep coming back to these pipes. I'm getting mine in about a month. I just think they are really hard to beat ...unless you are looking for something with a more radical look.
