Not owning either, just hearing the 2- so theres no favoritism...Rhinehart. But Bassanis are nice and have a good tone. Like both better than Vance and Hines and Samson...(i have V&H)

Vance and Hines, big shot staggered are my choice. But I have a friend with a Road King with the big engine and cam, his bassanis are a hoot when he hammers it on the highway. At idle I like mine better. I don't have enough experience with Rienharts to comment. Good luck with your choice. They are all good choices.

I have the same selection to make and Im still on the fence, but, Im leaning torwards to RH 2n1, because almost every other bike I see has V&H Boring Shots, oh, I mean Big Shots.

Heres a 3rd choice: V&H 2n1.....Thoughts

I truley like the design of the OEM on my Deuce, I think HD's R&D put some long hours in on te design.

My dilemma is solved as I ordered the Bassani Road Rage 2-1 this AM. After reading about the performance folks are getting from the Bassani's it sounds like they are the best-especially for any future mods beyond exhaust.
