I've been holding off doing mine because I'm waiting to build my larger powder coat oven.. I was going to do them gloss black to match but damn that satin black looks really good!

Or Harley Charley will go out and by a second string of what he has now. But I am interested also because they look brighter then the single string.

no loss of power unless your going from after market 2 into 1 to 2 into 2. stock is 2 into 2, so id say its more like you are leaving some on the table than you are loosing.

i like the idea of the v&h super radius but they look like slip ons to me. I wish the best looking & sounding stuff was always the best performing stuff!

i plan on changing my exhaust at some point but it wont be until i see something i cant live without and will plan some engine work with it.

Figured it was time to post a picture of my sled. She's still more or less stock but I have a few more goodies on the way thanks to LA DOG's advice. I installed the Shotguns last week and I'm still waiting for my RB Racing LSR 2-1 pipes in (chrome and black turnouts), black mirrors, Ginz 18" sissy bar, derby cover, and RSD belt cover. I'll eventually upgrade the seat, trash the front turn signals, and possibly go with a 23" front wheel under black inverted forks. We'll see...

Looks good brother! The Air Cleaner looks great. Hey I just picked up some black hole cut levers on ebay and they fit great, look sick and the satin black is just right matches with the HD lever control body, super easy to swap them out. They were also pretty cheap. Here's the link. you must get this specific Custom Chrome part number 647999 for non-ABS Breakouts. I do not know if a different one is required for Breakouts with ABS.
or it won't fit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191216871400

Waiting to see that 23" wheel and inverted forks. sick!!
