Amy source to this? The fact that they didnt keep it on any of the models nor rotated it onto other models (like they have done with amber whiskey the past few yeard and superior blue across 2015/2016) highlights a response to poor sales success for the colour.

Whiskey amber and the superior blue are not the custom colors. The Daytona Blue was only available for 2014 and on select bikes, much like the radioactive green was for 2015. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out but......

Roger that. Ignorance is bliss I guess. So is Olive Gold the equivalent for MY16? How do you think that one is going to look?

I just got some throw overs but have yet to mount them. I like yours. What brand are they?

Hi Blake, how are you liking your V&H Super Radius? Compared to maybe Big Radius?

I just sold my 48 and thinking of getting a Slim, pipes are my first mods and there is not much reviews on the Super Radius from owners... Thanks
