As usual with this kind of post everyone has a different opinion which means it's really down to you to decide.

Man, could even sleep last night going back in forth with the duals. I want to like them but then I say go with the BSS. Think my solution might be another bike so I'll have both hahahaha

Either way I go I'll want the other

Will see how tonight goes, Drew I'll be calling tomorrow. Do I ask for you or just give them the quote you gave me.

I just bought the BSS pipes for my Heritage Springer.

First I wanted something different from everyone else running duals and long *** fishtails. Don't get me wrong, they look good, but I had a different route planned.

Second, I stripped off my bags, and will be adding a swing arm bag. No can do with the duals.

Third, I hate the slash tips, just not my thing. I bought the Straight cut tips for the BSS pipes. The flat cut on the end makes it look less Dyna to me...no offense to the Dynas out there.

I struggled for a long time on the pipes. In the end though, V&H quality is second to none...and when I had hardware issues on my '10 FLHXSE, they stepped up and really took care of me...
