So, I'm about set on selling my black Vance & Hines Side Shots and going with something a little more traditional than diagonal pipes. Don't get me wrong, the V&H pipes are sweet, I just don't know that they fit the look I'm after quite as well as some others. Here's a pic of my bike as it sits rights now:



I'm really looking at either the Cannons or Shorty's made by Samson. Here are pics of both of those systems:

Cannons:



Shorty's:




So, which do you think would look better, and do you like the black, or would you go with chrome?

.

 

I'm biased toward the V&H shortshots. Have them on my 48 and love them. I will admit they are a little obnoxious at times. Just hope you don't ride in the early a.m. or the neighbors will love you as much as they love me!

 

Well, I have to admit, one reason I want to switch to Samson is that I'm a dealer for them, so I'd kinda like to run what I sell if that makes sense...the Shorty's are closer to the Short Shots then...

 

I've got a Powerflow III 2-1 they make it in sinister black now!!! it sounds awesome and performs just as good!!! or a Caliber pipe... they look pretty awesome!

 

Yeah, those Powerflow III's are sick pipes! Unfortunately they don't make them for 86-03 Sporties...

 

Too bad. I actually like the look you have now.

 

Well, I haven't completely made up my mind on getting rid of the ones I have, I'm on the fence about it...

 

Black shorty

 

You did not mention what look you are after....looks like you are chopping your rear fender...if so, I think the long shots would look sorta out of place.

Have you thought about fabbing up something totally your own?

I know, I know, easier said than done. I've been wanting to do some myself for a couple years, just never take the time to actually do it.

Black!

 

My vote would be to keep what you have. The sideshots are one of my favorite pipes on sporties and I think your bike looks great and not like every other harley rockin short shots (not that there's anything wrong with that).
