I just ordered some of V&H slip-on fishtails. They just hit the market in January. They are supposed to be here sometime this week. Once I get them installed I'll let you know about the sound and post some pics for ya to check out.
I'd love to hear what you think of the V&H fishtails when you get them. I've pretty much decided that's what I'm going to get for my bike, just need to save up a few bucks.
Yeah, I know the feeling. I've been riding on stock pipes for a year. I finally convinced the wife to let me get the fishtails, but it cost me a Valentine's Day and Birthday present....
Hey Sprung -
I'm in the process of doing the same thing. Been rolling around with embarassing (and dangerously quiet) stock pipes since July. I had a quote printed out today as a matter of fact for the V&H Fishtail slip-ons, the Stage I kit and the remap.
The seat and saddlebags on your '05 Springer are they off an '03 model? They appear to be the older style which I prefer. I am giving very serious thought to purchasing an '06 model like yours except in red/black color combo. Your input would be appreciated.

Nevermind, I went back and read ALL the posts and saw that I answered my own question. Good guess on the '03 bags and seat huh? Damn I'm good!
I love the photo of your Springer Classic with the lake in the backround so much I saved it to my desktop. Now I see it everytime I'm viewing windows desktop. Great photo. You should submit it to HD marketing. It would be the perfect photo to use for their website.
I was looking at that last night, V&H pipes. It seems V&H are the way to go, since i can do the install myself. The Fuel Module supposedly can be programed simply by putting in a code for the specific pipes. What kind of airfilter are you going to get when you change out the pipes?
