Yep, isn't that the V&H that 80% put on their scoot!? I would have kept the stock exhaust cause on that bike it really looked more special than this one. Just my .02

Honestly my clamp integrated J&H switch works perfectly and when changing config due to cops around no tuning issues arises at all.
Using the "garage mode" you basically have three configurations. One very silent mode, one average (about 50% open) and fully open which is the config you usually run with.
Switching from fully to the previous configs for a few minutes doesn't create any problem since is supposed to last for a short time and normally you don't ride that fast with cops around... In any case bike runs smooth.
I add that I had V&H Big Shots Staggered installed before J&H and in terms of sound they're similar, I could even say I slightly prefer J&H and in terms of performance J&H is better. I can say this for sure 'cause I had dyno with both these 2 into 2 exhausts and J&H scored about 3 HP more and a higher and a flatter torque curve.

Thanks Lindosan.....As far as I am aware all the CVO Pro Street Breakouts have black engines but the edges of the fins are bare. All black is not an option, if it were I would have taken it.

That's the beauty of Harley-Davidson and the myriad of extras available, you can evolve the machine into what you wish. I have the stock sewage pipes and they will go to the new owner if and when I sell for them to decide which is best. I had V & H short shots on my previous 48 and loved the sound, styling and high quality finish so stuck with them for personal choice on the CVO as well. 80% is about right I reckon.

I would hazard a guess and state it is from a German Company called Dark-Parts perhaps?

Their rear wide wheel conversion is pretty cool too if your pockets are deep enough?

I'm pretty sure it's a Thunderbike "Steel" 260 Breakout/Rocker fender...looks just like the one I recently installed on my Rocker.

Now next concern is what happens to my tuning, I dont wanna stop each time when I push the switch and like Paul wrote and what I hear then J&H has some problems with the switch now and then.
I wanna be able and to trust the switch to change to legal as soon as I see the coppers and when Im in my neigborhood since many of my neighbors are not happe when I start the engine early/late !

All in all J&H seems to be the perfect choice but they are very expensive which sucks, espesially if they fail now and then............
Well, the switch is illegal in my country. However, there are many places on the scoot to route the switch. If ever, before the cops pull you over, you have to activate the switch to 'closed' valve. With the 'closed' valve, the tuning has no problem. Scoot still runs smooth. I have both SE Super Tuner and FP3. But currently running SE Super Tuner. Based on your concern, seems like J&H fits your requirement, but of course the price tag sucks.

Correct RockerB, this is the Thunderbike rear fender kit with the integrated brake/turn signals, I added the extra external Rombus signals cause I didn't have faith in the effectiveness of the imbedded signals, glad I did!

You sensing a bit of nationalism in that aggression ? Not that I think thats a horrible thing within reason, (not a snowflake ), but our choice of steed is rather iconic.
