Default Looking for opinions on pipes...

Alright I am looking for some opinions on pipes for my bike. I know in the end of it its what I like the most but thought I would see what you guys thought about the three choices...A couple changes you wont see in the pics are 18" apes, a C&C solo seat and the front end will be blacked out soon. Down the road I will be putting 18" black and chrome wheels (DNA Mammoth)....

Thanks

This is just my opinion but I think none of those pipes look right. You have a "classic" look going on and those pipes don't fit the theme. Also, I think something like this:

Interesting..the first set look nothing like a "traditional" type of pipe IMO...I would like to get a true dual but have never seen one for a 1994 Fatboy...All the true duals I see are for the newer models

the set of big shots makes Ur bags totally out of place, there small to begin with and the lower pipes makes them look worse.
I don't care for upswept pipes.
The roadhouse pipes are one of the ugliest pipes I've ever seen.
Throw a set of fatcats on there land get looks and performance

If $$$ is big issue, neighbor just got a set of Pythons 2-1's for his FB and they look really good and sound pretty good also, and save a .couple Hundred

I'm having the same issue trying to figure out which pipes would look best with my bike.

IMO - none of these do anything for me..... well, maybe the duals. of course I'm biased, but I like the 'old school' look of my pipes.

I really like your bike. I think it's screaming for a set of fish tails.

For that bike photo number 1.
Fishtails would also get my vote.
Great color and tank emblem.
