Sweet looking man. Plan on getting Samsons as well; already have a quote from Jamie at Fuel Moto for a PC-III and his branded air cleaner. Set up for the pipes...

I don't like the popping sounds on decel; rumble yes...

Default Update

I suspected an exhaust leak at the rear jug. so I called Samson they told me that some of the HD stock flanges are too thick and don't alway sit flat (because of the shape of the U pipe). I checked mine and sure enough it does not sit completely flat. They advised me to get an thinner after market set. I just ordered one from JP cycle. I hope it works.

It would have been nice to include that into the instructions.I love my Samson pipes but they really need to get a better set of instructions with pictures that you can actually see .The pics in my instructions were very blurry and you really could not make them out.I know its not rocket science but damn clear pics would be worth a thousand words and would make the install that much easier.

the guys in shipping were using a copy machine for instructions but as of about 3 months ago when someone brought this to our attention we are now printing fresh instructions every time. sorry for the past poor quality instructions. they are always available to download from our website as well if anyone happens to get pipes that have been packed more than 3 months ago. our apologies.
thank you,
JR

Mine pops but it's just cause I romp the throttle. She's tuned and sealed
