They are Paughco pipes, with Paughco bell tips. I dont even know how much I paid for them, but I dont think the pipes alone are that expensive, but they dont have an oxygen sensor, so they have to be modified. We used the one from my V&H pipes. We also used my V&H feulpak, but Nick says a power commander would be better for these pipes. I think they run great with the fuelpak, but the engine does run a little hot. I may get a power commander sometime down the line.

Alain, you going to the bike show in Ridgewood that Bergen HD has every fall? It's usually in October.

I thought it looks better without. Sissybar with no passenger seat always seems out of place. Just my opinion.

Typically I do not like sissy bars but on your bike, with the ape hangers, it actually looks really good with the sissy bar. It balances the bike, if you know what I mean.

But your bike would still look hot w/o it.

leave the sissy bars off, your pipes got control of that space.
