Default Samson Rip Saws.

So I installed my new Exhaust on my Train today. Blacked out Samson ripsaws. Way better than I imagined, beautiful to look at and the tone is incredible. They're loud enough that I think I would find them way too loud without the Baffles. I almost went with Chrome; so glad I didn't.

I have the same pipes on my Bones. Love them. Especially how they line up with the swing arm. Usually go V & H but these are sooooo much better.

I had the first generation Rip Saws, on my 2005 SE Fat Boy. They were 1-3/4" OD and didn't come with baffles. My bike ran great with them, but after a few years I couldn't take the outrageous exhaust volume any more.
That's the only reason I switched to a Fat Cat.

sweet, nice to see samson gettin some love.

i was considering the rip saws for a while but went for the street sweepers instead, i prefer the turnouts to the turn downs.

have you had the bike tuned at all? the note on my pipes went from good to crazy good with a tune.

Nice looking exhause & awesome 03 NTrain. Was looking hard for one a year ago, but found my 09 SG so went for the bagger. Love the trains....might own one someday.
