Just so you know.....Dennis Kirk has had the Big Radius for $486.99(sportster model) for the last month or so unless they just raised the price. Cheaper than 522.......Don't quote me as their prices do fluctuate and I havent looked in a couple weeks. Worth a lookover though

My bike is an 06 with carb and stock A/C. I'm hoping all i have to do is put on the new V&H big radius pipes and go. I didn't have to change anything when i put on the Cycle Shack slip-ons. Anyone know for sure ?

I just put them on my bike, same as urs 06 and they seem to work fine. I have a few hundred miles on them so far with no issues.
Got them from Ride Shack for $480 shipped.

Ya, I left the baffles in. It's noticably louder at idle, but I would say the loudness over stock decreases the higher in rpms u go. I think it sounds good, definitely loud but not too loud.

My buddy just got a 2008 Rocker C and it has the Big Radius pipes on it and man does it sound good even with the baffles in. I know that is a 96ci, but there are sweet pipes.
