Another vote for Big Growl pipes. They are single walled and may turn a bit at the head. Not a big deal, IMO. If your bike is tuned right and you coat the inside of the pipes with spray paint and then a coat of grease, they won't turn too much. This bike has them on it....Notice no blueing.

The lower one is scraped up on the bottom and the top one has a stain left behind by some melted plastic. But those can be replaced. For how much, I have no idea. They also have o2 ports. If you want them pm me.

A set of lower shields from Vance&Hines will run a shde over $200...Don't ask me how I know. :icon_redface:

Well I was going to let them go pretty cheap but I didn't realize the heatshields would cost so much so it might not even make sense to buy mine.
Also for better or worse vze1mk7d = Theo.

Just thought of something, I don't know how your bike looks, but you could always paint the shields black or you could wrap the pipes. Just a thought.

others may look close but the sound won't be there...

V&H's are on 75% of the bikes here, nothing sound the same...

Which is one reason why I didn't want them. My wife has long shots on her bike and I really like the way they sound. But me, I wanted something different that not every other guy (or gal) had....

i found out you get what you pay for. the chrome is great on the V&H, the hookers are not and even if the pipes look the same the sound is not. i check the used bike lot to hear what they sound like before buying and my old bike had the V&H over the screamin eagle.

When I did the cams this spring I really thought about 2-1's, like I said above 75% here are V&H's, I red all I could on D&D's and thought that was the way to go,, Then I red the dragging issue and not sure if they were tooooo louuuud, for this ole Gramps...and Grandma.. so thats the reason I stayed with what we have and like ,, Rush 2'', they just purrr when putt-ing and roar when nailed... with the deeeeep rumble at idle and cruising I just stayed with them, knowing that I left 5 or so TQ and HP on the table....still I am happy with the results of the cams....
