Default Big Radius Pipes......WOW!!!

Well, I found a killer deal on some slightly used V&H Big Radius 2 into 2 pipes. After a trip to the parts store to get some snap-ring pliers and some Torx wrenches, they're on and they sound absolutely amazing! Why did I wait so long to get there? especially since they sound so much better than the SE slip-ons I had.

Yeah, I know what you mean. After putting them on, my wife said that the back end of the bike looked like it was missing something and suggested that I get some saddle bags. It's always nice when your significant other starts suggesting what parts to buy next

Anyone check out the BR 2 into 1 pipe. I have the 2 into 2 now but I'm thinking of switching up.

I like the looks of the Big Radius 2 into 1, but I didn't think it would look good on my Fat Boy. They would look sick on a Night Train, though.

How do the Big City Thunder baffles sound with the big radius? I'm thinking about getting the baffles, but don't want them too loud

I like the 2-into-1 and think it looks peachy keen on the Fat Boy. Lots don't like the look of a 2-into-1 I guess. I went from the V&H Pro Pipes (2-into-1) and these BR have a little more style to them I think. I've only had 2-into-1 pipes on this bike so I can't do any comparisons but I do like the sound. Kinda quiet at idle but roars when I hit it.
