Very nice Springer! That's the model that really got me when they came out and it's my favorite color scheme for the Heritage Springer Classic. The pipes are a perfect match.

A great look for the FL Springer. I had a set on mine and replaced them with the Thunderheaders I've got on it now. Fortunately I kept the old exhaust system and have been thinking about going back to the tails. I liked the sound better with the fishtails, more deep and throaty then the Thunderheaders, although....I got a about a 10 HP and torque increase with the current setup.

Thanks guys! They are 29" unbaffled made by V-Twin Manufacturing part# 30-0049 http://www.vtwinmfg.com/catalogs/cyr/pdf/BTEXHAUST.pdf
They sound wicked on the old EVO.


Vikingur, I'm from Valley in East Alabama, right on the AL - GA line. I can see the Chattahoochee from my front porch.

Will do. We'll probably get down there sometime during the spring. I know for sure we'll being going through Dothan headed to Thunder Beach in May! I'd love to see your Springer Classic...
