Got them installed in about 20 minutes. Of course after I finished I realized that the cobra logo is only on one and it’s the one I installed in front. Almost took it back apart but decided it wasn’t a big enough deal to worry about.

Anyone that tells you that these pipes aren’t really that loud is deaf or lying to you. Much louder than they appear to be in the videos. I was taken back by how loud they are. Really great sound and the fit and finish is top notch. $268.00 free shipping from Parts Giant. Best deal in slip on exhaust to be found.

It’s Harleys super reduced reach seat. I’m vertically challenged so the dealer threw it in to get the sale. It’s very comfortable without looking like a sofa . The stock seat looks great but is a torture device. Had I not needed the position changed I would have gotten their brawler seat for a bit more comfort
