Default Slipons

Considering Rush slipons for my 1200 L what's the advantage or disadvantage to 2 inch baffels to 1 3/4 inch baffels? [/align]

I bought the V&amp\\;H slip-ons. Love 'em! They have a great tone and they are loud.
&nbsp\\;
Best safety feature I ever got for the bike. If they don't see me, I'll make sure&nbsp\\;they will hear me!

The V&H slip ons make my 08 Roadster sound like God is angry and something biblical is about to happen. Perfect sound but almost too loud for around town.

you just take the clamps loose and take the old mufflers off and install the new slip-ons.&nbsp\\; (Well it's almost that simple)

1" 3/4 here and they are plenty loud.&nbsp\\; I personally wouldn't want them any louder.
But to each their own.

Nice thing about the Rush Slipons is that you dont change the Air Cleaner.&nbsp\\; You may need a remap tho.
