Kind of off topic, but what is that bag on your bike? I like the way it looks.

Sorry to answer for Sammy, but looks like the Licks solo bag. Awesome little bag.

Question: Any reason I can't install all this in my own garage? (And it be awesome?)

hey ******* i didn't say they make a crappy pipe. everyone and their brother runs them. make the bike your own and so something different instead of what everyone is doing. give the bike your look with a different pipe instead of the pipe everyone is running. when do you ride weekends and temps over 85? good luck with that.

I hit submit too soon.

A question was asked. You provided absolutely nothing useful, but rather insulting, and YOU are getting mad?

Take a step back and start over.

Not to completely derail this thread (and to the original poster, you got some good advice here already...nothing I can add to it) but what other pipes would you recommend? Maybe expand upon this rather than just blurt out some general and rather uninformative info.

Believe it or not, I'm right there with you. I like the V&H stuff...but it is just EVERYWHERE. I like different. I like unique. I like my stuff to perform...and that's the stickler. I haven't found anything that is unique and a PROVEN performer as well. If I had, I'd be all over that.

There are definately pipes that LOOK unique, but most are from small companies, are limited productions, and I can't find any information on how they perform over a wide sampling of bikes.

Others aren't V&H, have been shown to perform, but don't look like anything special.

So, like many others, I'm sticking with some V&H Big Radius 2 - 2 (yes, I know, 2-1 better...but I do like the 2-2 look better and I'm getting a killer price on them). If you have other options, I (and I'm sure the OP) would be all ears.
