A little tough to tell with my crappy laptop speakers; but they sound pretty good. Not as "raspy" as I thought they'd be. And they do have a killer look to them. Do you have any engine mods?
no engine mods as of yet. but hopefully by the summer i would have a few things done. HOPEFULLY - lol

You should send that cilp to V&H

ManI love those pipes, My concern is the volume on say a 300 mile ride. Do you think they are so loud as to become annoying on a long ride?
no probs on the long rides,mellow out at cruise speeds.Plus how can you get sick of that sound lol

Look and sound great. Thanks for the post. I wish you could idle down the newer bikes. My first shovel, you could count the power strokes. Ah the good ol' days.

I'll second that. Long rides are no problem and I think that you will find that when you are riding, they seem quieter than if you are standing next to it. At least thats what it seemed like to me since the pipes shoot down and dump behind you, they seem quieter when you're riding. It wasn't until a buddy and I swapped bikes and I rode next to mine that I realized how loud they really are.
Cheers,
Chris
