They look sick on rockers and deuces, but they are loud as hell. Get some quiet baffles to take them down at touch

I put shortshots on my wifes 1200 nightster.

They looked AND sounded awesome.

Too loud? I didn't think so. Neither did she. YMMV

Look and sound awesome! But EVERYONE has them! I just can't bring myself to use them, I have to try and be different but still find something cool at the same time. Very difficult sometimes....
