The V&H big radius are nice, but in my opinion that is what alot of people are putting on their Lo so I am not getting those. For function and looks, I would say bassani road rage 2 into 1, d&d fatcat 2 into 1, or if you want 2 into 2 the v&h big shots.

I went with Supertrapps X-Pipes, a 2-2 system.

I almost went for a 2-1 system, both V&H's Pro Pipe and Supertrapps Supermeg. 2-1 for function.

I put form over function for much choice.

Also, congrats!

That's a pretty open ended question. Just go with what you like. Ride over to your local dealer or bike hangout and check out the pipes and see what you like. I went with the V&H BSS and I get compliments on the sound all the time.

Skinny you are right, but keep in mindthat it just appears that way because we are all on one site like a family of modifiers.

I have the only 2 into 2 BR V/H's on my lo that I have seen in person. I have been to 6 rallies and several shows.

So it just seems like that since the hdforum softail section breeds creative customizing for all to see here. If I added up all the ones I could find on the internet, it still would only amount to about 10 lo's with this exhaust at the most.

I'm not sayin it's the best choice, I'm just sayin'.

Good luck with whatever is decided on.

I see your point Jim. I really didn't look at it that way. I mean to be honest I haven't seen another Lo around where I live. I just think that with form and function 2 into 1 is the way to go, but the best answer to the question is GO WITH WHAT YOU LIKE.

I saw the my first Lo driving on the highway last night and I've been looking for 6 months. Hanging out on the HD "LO" Forum where I see em everyday, well, it was a surprise to see another on the street.
