RE: The Springer Picture Thread
I've heard JB's story quite a few times .... Which is why I can really appreciate this forum. Saved me a ton of money skipping over the SE Slip-Ons and going straight to the V&H Fishtails.
I was actually a little nervous after I put the pipes on 'cause I was used to being so darn quiet. These pipes are, in my opinion, the perfect pipes for the Springer Classic. They sound great - Pretty loud when you pull back on the throttle if you need to be noticed.
The night I put them on I took the bike out for a spin and my neighbor (Dyna owner) laughed and yelled "Finally!!! Sounds like you're ridin' a HARLEY now!"

I am used to having 2 pipes on the same side, the duals are new to me. The V&H shortshots on my 94 FLSTN will keep me from getting too cocky.

You rattlin' the windows in the neighborhood with those short shots!!?!?!
That's one nice looking bike you've got there (94 FLSTN)
ONE VERY IMPORTANT INSTALLATION TIP: DONT OVERTIGHTEN THE HEAT SHIELDS!! I've seen a bunch of people do this (on ALL makes of pipes - yes even stock) and It'll cause a little indentation where the hose clamp fits into the bracket that's welded to the heat shield. Don't crank on it. Just give it enough torque to keep it there.
