Well, I got it to them this past Thursday late afternoon, so they didn't get to it until Friday.

They don't stock cables, and they measure each bike, so they got the measurements but couldn't put the order in until today (they aren't open on Monday yet). They think they will be in Friday's UPS, early afternoon, so I'm guessing they'll be done on Saturday. Of course the weather is going to *suck* here so they'll have to deliver it.

Are those Vance and Hines big shots? I'm leaning towards getting those, but in black for my Deluxe. How do they sound?

Yep. Loud, and I love em. My buddies say they dont know when to shift when they are riding behind me.

But if I had to do it over again, I'd probably get a 2-1 with a fishtail end, but the only company that made that is out of business (American Roadhouse). Check out Doghair's bike.

But even if I found one like that, after these bars I'm outta money, and might be sleeping on the couch.
