just installed my hooker troublemakers this weekend. They sound great, i originally had V&H striaghtshots. Im trying to sell the bike locally so I installed the pipes with the hopesof helpingmy sale.....plus I just had to ride her a few times with the new pipes. anyway, heres a couple pictures.

 

Looks pretty cool, good luck with trying to sell her.

 

Looks bad-***. How do they sound compared to the V&H?

 

Looks nice but it seems like you put an awful lot of money into a bike you've hardly ridden and will only get about $6500-7k for. Someone will certainly get a nice bike (those pipes will scrape fast though).

 

Tthe pipes sound deeper and throatier than the V&H but thats probably due to the fact that they face the street. They are loud though, even with baffles and thats how i like em. as far as scraping, so far no scrapes.
