I luv the Brs...sound and looks. Only reason why I am swapping to Samson duals is to balance out the look for bags.

I dont have the br pipes but i have road some of my buddies bikes that do have them. I like them. They look and sound pretty good. Little to tinny for me but btc baffles will fix that. The main reason i didnt run them on my Lo was that you cant ride anywhere without seeing them. They are over played and i wanted something differant on mine. i went with the bassani road rage2-1 short. Got a super deep tone great looks plus 2-1 performance!

Appreciate the thoughts on the BR 2 into 2's. More interested in the look than performance right now. You do see the BR's on alot of Fatboys, but that doesn't bother me. I like it.

Been riding a Ninja 250 for the last couple of summers, and I'm enjoying not running at 8000 or 9000 RPM to be in a power band.

Keep in mind, BRs are seen lots around here. Not many on the streets. I got a lot of cool comments out there on them.

Good point. I've never seen another one where I live that has them.. I've got the only one around my parts.

However my wife's Street Bob has them too ;-)

Dayum...Big Radius subject turned into exhaust subject. I see quite a few informative responses after re-reading the thread again. Link below touches the basics of HD's exhaust and a well worth read.

That's a good point.

On the forums, they are popular, but unless I am at a big bike event like Daytona, I don't see a ton of them while just riding.
