Default Vance & Hines Longshots.....

The big brown truck dropped off a new set of V&H Longshots today, they were waiting for me when I got home from work. With a little help from a friend they went on fairly easy, they sound great with the stock baffle, look good on my Fat Boy, and now I won't have to worry about my daughter's pant legs melting to the pipes since they now go under the passenger foot peg.......

Very nice. If I had the cash I'd get a set myself but they will have to waite until finances improve. Good choice

Thanks for the compliments, they do look good on the Fat Boy. I also like the fact both pipes run under the passenger foot peg, and back past the rider. The bonus is they sound much better than the previous set up of stock pipes with Cycle Shack slip-on's....

Actually 3 of them Sgt Jim, the Tuckahoe, Middle, and Mayslanding rivers all empty into the Great Egg Harbor Bay, and I live in a small town at the southern tip of Atlantic County where they all converge and meet with the Intracoastal Waterway....

Nice place to live, but the salt air plays hell with chrome.....and the annual convergence of summer tourists makes riding an extreme challenge.....
