Hello friends! I'm about to return from Iraq in a few months and will be trading in my 02 Sportster 883c for a 2010 Fatboy. I'm thinking of having Vance and Hines Big Radius 2 into 1 exhausts put on it, but am unable to find any photos of that setup online so far. Does anyone here have that or have a picture of that type of setup? Also, if you think there's a better way to go, i'm open to suggestions. My goal is to increase the overall performance and also the volume of the bike. The drivers around Central TX aren't the most observant. Thanks all!
Let me first say THANK YOU for your service to our Country!
I have the V&H 2 into 1 Big Radius on my 09 Fat Boy and I really like it. I also have the Power Commander V and it has a noticeable power increase. It has GREAT SOUND even with the baffles installed, my neighbors know when I come down the street. LOL! Plus I really like the different look it give the bike.
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE, GREAT choice in bikes i must say!!! As far as EXHAUST goes, i dont know if you can get it all out of one pipe. I mean the NOISE and the PERFORMANCE. The 2 into 1 are the TRUE PERFORMERS, but a LITTLE QUIET. The INDEPENDENT PIPES are very loud, but dont PERFORM as well. Thats my . ME, IM ABOUT PERFORMANCE!!! THEY CANT HIT WHAT THEY CANT TOUCH OR CATCH !!!

see you here when you get back. they have started a new thing in Austin. they are ticketing aggressive drivers. so when that cage tail gates you they get the ticket. I had the loud pipes and yes they notice, but i saw them first before they changed lanes on me and some looked at me and still changed lanes. I dont think loud will help that much so go with what you like and maybe get a air horn or a large grade 8 bolt to get their attention.
All I want to say is THANK YOU for your service!!! I really aprreciate your efforts in keeping US safe!!
God bless you and ride safe my friend!

Must say.....Thanks for ther Pic. Nothing like being able to see what the finished product should look like. Did you do the install yourself or pay someone?

Well, i started with the 883 Sportster a few years ago. I did consider a RK.....but i think i prefer the appearance of the Fatboy.
