Default New pipes(pics)
I was in the local Harley dealer yesterday and a guy over heard me talking about wanting a set of V&H short shots. He a came over and told me he had a set that had only been on for a week, they had less than 100 miles on them and he would sell them to me for 150.00. I couldn't believe my luck, anyway here are some before and after pics.

Did you get a seat of the pants torque loss by going from that 2-1 pipe to those 2-2's?

Those shorts look much better on yer' bike than did the previous one.

Haven't been able to find out yet, will have to wait until after work tonight. I did get to drive up the street but only got about a block before it started to hail on me gotta love Oklahoma in the spring. The bike does start much easier with the new pipes, and there is no loud crackling when rolling off the throttle. The old ones had no baffles/backpressure at all.
