Default need help deciding!

heres the deal--i got a choice here and need some opinions what i should do...next week i have a little bit of money coming and the wifey is actually letting me spend some..im looking at v&h short shots or a forcewinder air cleaner..what would you guys here do? some of you might already know that i have the screamin eagle IIs with big city thunder baffles,so they already are loud and sound good,but i think the short shots would look better..

I'd say it all depends on what you currently have for an A/C.

I think those short shots would look pretty good on your bike.

well if you already have the stage one A/C, i would vote Short shots. you can get a force winder off ebay later in the year for about 150.

If you really want the Troublemakers then don't settle for anything else. Get what you really want the first time if you are able to do so.

thats what im thinking..ive always wanted the troublemakers and my 2nd choice would actally be v&h side shots..3rd choice woud be short shots..so im thinkin that im gonna go for the forcewinder now and do the pipes later..does anyone know of a cheep place to get the forcewinder besides this guy on ebay american classic motors..i ordered from him before(when i got m lepera barebones) and it took like 2 weeks for it to arrive and i only live like 75 miles from him..the price was good but i wasnt happy with the service at all..

good choice . go with the force winder and I think you will see better performance . I know alot of people like the vance and hines drag type mufflers but you will never get the performance out of them you will with a proper tuned exhaust. maybe you dontcare about performance and just want the loud and proud thing which is cool . Im just offering a second opinion formed from experience. I think you can order direct from force products , if not check out nrhs they sell them.
