Default Night Train exhaust question

So, I am new to the forums and the Harley family. I bought my first bike (2009 denim black Night Train) a couple months ago and love it.

I'm looking to get a set of pipes installed but I'm torn between the V&H Big Radius 2-1 Black and the Big Radius 2-2.

I've seen a bunch of pictures of the 2-2 online but haven't seen any of the 2-1 Black on my bike, no matter how much I've searched. So I was wondering if anyone had any pics of this pipe on their Night Train so I can get a better idea. I wasn't sure if the black pipes would be an overload.

Thanks!

Black pipes look good on Night Trains.

Big radius 2-1 if you want it to pull harder in the midrange.

2-2 if you want the classic sound and looks.

Both good pipes.

Search for Night Train Exhuast pics on this site. Big thread. Lots of pipes lots of info.


Look at the difference on my Train between chrome pipes and not chrome pipes. You make the call!!



And the difference in performance as well:


Which pipe do you think pulls harder and is more fun in day to day real world riding scenarios?

The V&H black pipes are my favorite. I haven't seen other black pipes that I like. I think the chrome tip and V&H badge set them off perfectly.

I don't like the V&H BR 2-1. If it was my bike, which it isn't, I'd go for the 2-2. Personally, i'm just not a fan of 2-1's, despite the added performance that they provide.

Black pipes an overload? I don't think so.

make sure you shop around for different pipes first, Y because everyone and there mother has them 2 pipes. But hey if thats your flava then go for it. Dont get me wrong there great pipes, but you will go to a rally and 7 out of 10 bikes will have the big radius, believe I know.

And I would say a lot of people run them because they look bad ***.

I can totally respect another person's need for individuality, but from my personal perspective, I'm not going to NOT get something that I like just because a lot of other people like it too. That's just me though.

The V&H pipes have an awesome sound as well...

Sig pic is a D&D LowCat. Baddest exhaust (other than a megabuck LSR Black Hole) you can get.

I personally like 2-2. But then again you look at Chazmanian's 2-1 they look good too. I'd go with black. I wrapped my shortshots with black exhaust wrap this spring and they look great. Only problem is now they are hotter then hell!
