Default Just bought a Rocker C...

Greetings,

I just traded my high miles '01 Fat Boy, black, V&H Big Shots, stage 1, for a new '09 Rocker C, black w/flames. I am starting all over and am not going to "pimp" with lots of chrome as it has plenty.

I'm thinking of the V&H Big Radius 2 into 2 exhaust with air cleaner and SE tuner. Anyone running something similar? Your thoughts? Any other exhausts (not interested in SE slip ons).

Thanks,

Karl

If you don't mind having the same pipes as a majority of Rockers and it is what you want, than that is the way to go. Though you may want to check out Martin Brothers Medustas, Daisy Cutters, or Shockwaves. I like the Vance & Hines Big Radius 2 into 1 and also SuperTrapp Road Legends Phantom (though I am not sure about fitment with these(SuperTrapp)).

I have a D&M Spike Twister Air Cleaner, if you have around $1600 laying around the D&M DM-B425 would really look good on the Rocker. I have the TTS MasterTune System which I like very much as it lets you do more fine tunning if you want to go in that direction. Lots out there believe it or not so have fun and be creative.

Congrats on the Rocker! I love my Big Radius 2 into 2. And yes, lots of Rocker owners here have them here on the forums. But in real life, I have yet to bump into a Rocker owner on the road with them on. The Harley Heavy Breather and PC V or Thundermax is on the short list for me.

I've installed the V&H Big radius 2 into 2 in the black ceramic coating and they have a great sound and look good on the bike. I also did the Screaming Eagle Super Tuner and hand the bike dyno tuned and what a difference in the performance and sound now. The next thing to be done is the Screaming Eagle heavy breather. I've been asked why I did not do this all at once and the answer is MONEY.
