I like the look of the BR 2-2, I had them on my 09 Road King. They sound good and actually make good power for a 2-2. The only comment I will make is I am not 100% sure how I like them on the Slim. But....that is the great thing about these bikes and this site. If you like it, that's all that really matters. The more I see of the Slim, the more I dig it...

I put the same pipes on my bike. I changed the breather kit to stage 1 and got the harley download. All is good now. No need to get a fuel pak or anything unless you want to super tune your bike yourself.

I've got black big radius on my slim. I added the stage 1 air kit and put a fuelpak on. Everything seems to be running great, no decel popping or anything.

I do have a question for you guys though. I read a post somewhere saying that a bike running lean has alot of vibration in the handlebars.. I've been on street glides for the past 3-4 years so it may just be a difference in the bikes. There seems to be alot of handlebar vibration around 2200 -2600 rpms. normal for this bike?

No handlebar vibration on mine , you may want to check your balance on your front tire if its alot and all the time.

I took all the reflectors off for a cleaner look, also the ecu seems to be adjusting to the new exhaust as Im getting less poping on decel.

My local HD had 25% off early bird saturday so I jumped on it, screamin eagle stage 1 kit,a few cosmetic goodies then got the download later the same day after installing it . The kit comes with a silver back plate so I pulled it back off and preped it and painted it flat black with high heat paint.

No comment on the exhaust. But some smoked directional signals would look sharp with what you've got going so far. just my opinion.

I totally agree, I would like to get rid of them all together. I need to chill on the spending $$ a little I have not even made my first payment yet.

How did you get all the reflectors off? Just tape?
