I really like that Basani set up. Wonder if it'll fit on my rocker.

The Vance and Hines is not bad either. I heard that pipe on a vrod and it sounded mean !!!!

Yeh I found quite a few vids with them on a VROD or Iron 48. but nothing really on FXS/FXD with 103 TC.

Saw these as well on ebay. yeh I know. ebay right? they look cool, who knows how they perform. coat these in ceramic black and leave the tip shiny would prolly look sick. they have the non-heat-wrapped version for even cheaper.

I wish some of the mainstream brands would get more creative and daring with their 2-1 pipe offerings- and at least include an 18mm bung option. how can it be a "performance pipe" if it only has provision for NB sensors? lame. it's not difficult to weld in a 18mm bung then put a 12mm threaded insert inside it. VH used to do this on all of their pipes up until about 2010, and now only puts 12mm bungs on. stupid.

I'll be swapping mine to the Bassani Sweeper chrome. I like the 2 x 2's, but if I went 2 x 1 I would do the D&D that Cdonis runs.

yeh those are both good pipes- just not grabbing me visually, not rowdy looking enough for me. but if it comes down to perf vs looks I'll lean towards the perf side. Loud I don't care about, but not stupid-*** loud like the short LAF ground pounders. those don't work for shet anyway.

The Akrapovic Open Line 2-1 is an option too but I don't like how they run the primaries.

Those look interesting thx- might hang a bit too low at the tips though at least from that pic. they would probably look pretty sleek in black.

Be careful with those fools from Demon Cycles. I've read a lot of horror stories on the forum about them. I remember M I K E (who has been MIA for a while) had a bad experience with them. Wish I could remember what it was about.

yeh I know, I have bought from them before, some custom fenders. they were actually really nice fenders and they shipped them well packed. i would not buy from them if i was not sure what I was buying though, it's probably a hassle to return items.

I was initially leaning towards this RSD Tracker from VH, has 18mm bungs, but then I realized they designed it so it is impossible to have a rear passenger peg.



There is the new Ness F-Bomb pipe, but i discovered it is rather restrictive and only good to about 100hp, and the primaries are not stepped. I don't see the "pro" in that.. ;p - i didn't like the sound clips either.
