Default Pipes, Need something fresh..

G'day all,

So Ive been slowly getting bored of my V&H BR's. I think they do suit the bike and really every softail but I'm looking for a change,

So whats new out there??

Any ideas ???

Here are a couple I am considering, I'd order these with chrome tips & black wrap (maybe all chrome... yes I know chrome *****)




this is cool too




and heres a side shot of the bike theyre going on...



so over to you guys for ideas....

Those shorty pipe have no soul to their sound and kill power.

I like the Cross Backs.





When I ditched my old V&H BR pipes, it was a toss up between Rineharts and the Yaffe Phantom pipe. Problem is that vanity pipes usually do not perform well, but these would look perfect for your bike and I might still buy a set when I get tired of the Rineharts..

I never cared for the look of the V&H BR. They do not flow with the lines of the bike.
See so many of them, many probably think they are HD SE replacement parts.

Everyone has a opinion, so he comes mine. With all the chrome you have on the bike and the rocker's style, I can't imagine a nicer looking set of pipes than those you have on it right now. I would leave well enough alone, it looks great.
