Beginning to think I should have hard mounted it, looks so good don't wanna take it off now!

got easy brackets on the way for my pony express bags as bar in way of throw over yoke, which is why I used the bolt on the middle mount. Trying to get those stupid studs out with the HD yellow thread lock is almost impossible with ordinary hex keys.

Don't think I'll go with covers, I like the look of the mounts. But thanks anyway.......

yep, gives the "I use to have a bike" person that inevitably pounces as soon as you park up something to point at and ask what its for.

Sounds abit louder and deeper. Didnt get a chance to ride out really and check it out yet. Anyone have any experience with these baffles/pipes?
I've also got the six inch risers on my 2012 Lo. They were installed by the dealer so that should assure everybody that they fit. Oh I have ABS also.

I installed the quality quiet BCT baffles in my V&H Big Shots Staggered. They sound good too me and are a good medium between V&H quiet baffles and stock baffles volume wise but with a deeper tone. I haven't had a chance yet to install them at the six inch recommended spot. Hopefully that will happen soon. To3cutter did you try them in the stock baffle location and if you did how much difference and what kind of difference did putting them in the six inch sweet spot make?

They are road king bags, and the seat is the mustang vintage wide solo. It is a little Bulky for my liking as far as looks go, but man, is it comfortable!

I'm waiting on the match tank and fender bibs. I'm hoping they make the seat blend in a little better.

Next winter: shotgun shocks and 21/18 spoked wheels. If I can stash away the cash, I will also do the 103 or 107 upgrade. If not, the following winter my plans right now are 103 or 107 and Trask turbo setup. Time may change that though!
