RE: Rush Slip-ons
I've since moved on to a full aftermarket exhaust system, but I really liked the look and sound of the Rush slip-ons w/2.00" baffles that I previously had on my bike. Here are a few pics.

RE: Rush Slip-ons
After hearing the OL's new Piglet with Rush pipes, I got a set for my Night Train. They sound good, look good and the price was right.

RE: Rush Slip-ons
I love mine. I bought the straight cuts as I like the look of the large diameter pipes. Later models have various tip options, which these didn't; but I'm happy with them.
As to baffles: I started out with the 2" baffles, but after a 1000-mile trip my head was ringing. So I got the 1.5" "stealth" baffles, but they were way too stealthy. As in sewing machine-stealthy. Finally ended up with the 1.75" baffles, which are ju-u-u-u-s-s-s-t right. Throaty, acceptably loud, a really good Harley rumble. The larger-diameter baffles (larger than 2", that is) are favored by touring-class owners, as the pipes (and the sound) exit much farther behind the rider than on most softails and dynas.
Whatever baffles you get, keep in mind that they're going to get noticeably louder after about 1000 miles, as the fiberglass wrapping burns away.
For those tempted by full-header systems, keep in mind that if you change out the factory headers without doing anything else to the engine itself (big bore, cams, etc) you will lose a certain amount of horsepower and torque.

Nice color! White walls look awesome too

I debated for a while on the whitewalls, mainly on the need to clean them. So I bought a jack for $49, and now cleaning them is child's play ( with Mr. Clean Eraser). I just sit on the stool and spin 'em. Easier cleaning the rest of the bike, too, for that matter.
I think they really make our color paint (all dark colors, in fact) pop.
