Either Rinehart or V&H BSS look good on a Fatboy. You will notice lots and lots of bikes with similar 2-2 exhausts. They both perform well and sound great. There are a lot of choices for hi-flow intakes and they all do what they're designed to do. You can pretty much go on the look you want for the price you are willing to pay. The fuel management systems have a wide varience in flexibility and price. The V&H FP maps are an "approximation" of the ideal AF settings and they do not have the plug n play settings for more than stage 1. If you want more precise tuning or plan on doing mods to the motor, take a look at Power Vision or Thundermax $$$. You spend enough money and some tune themselves.

After selling the "geezer glide" for my heritage, I stuck with Rinehart and I guess I'll be the only one "chiming" in for Rinehart. They look good, sound good and I am very happy with them. Off the subject, those spoke wheels are outta here!! Got a set of nice chrome wheels and they're on and look fantastic!!!!!!!!

i must be the only one here with cobra. i got the speedster slashdowns in chrome. i don't have a pic yet. i just got a call today that my bike is done. i had cams installed and got it tuned. but i can tell you a little about the pipes. they are a 1 piece heat shield per pipe front to back. it has billet tips. it has a cross over port like the v & h pipes. heat shields also cover 2/3's of the pipes. i went with these because they are not to short like the big shots staggered. they are kinda like the double barrel long but like i said 1 piece heat shields. they have standard baffles installed and quite baffles are available. they sound pretty nice.
