How loud are V&H Big Radius 2 into 2?
Hi
I've got a 2008 Nightster currently with Cycle Shack slip-ons. They sound great. Just perfect as a matter of fact.
However, I don't like the cycle shack looks. But I love the look of V&H Big Radius 2 into 2 black: http://www.vanceandhines.com/product...ius22-blk.html
I live in an area with a noise restriction by-law and am wondering how much louder the V&H are compared to the cycle shack slip-ons. Does anyone know?
Also, is it possible to get after market baffles for these to quiet them down a bit if they are too loud?
Thanks for any help

I too had Cycle Shack slip-ons before i put the V&H big radius on. In my opinion they are very nearly the same with the stock baffles in. At first you may think the V&H are slightly louder but i believe that is because the Cycle Shacks are slash cut downward directing most of the sound down and to your rear, away from you, while the V&H are slash cut more to the side, allowing more of the sound to be heard by the rider.

A few questions:
1. Don't you need the baffles to get some back pressure?
2. Did you have to do a remap when you took the baffles out?
3. Can anyone recommend a Fuelpack for the Big Radius? V&H recommend their own, but I don't know if others would also work.
Thanks again,

It's going to come down to what you want to do with your bike. Fuelpak is good for the OTS tunes that V&H has and it's built with leniency in the curve. The more precise tuning is going to get a little more pricey one for the unit, like a PC V, and two for the time it takes a tuner to dyno/tune the ECU.
If all you're doing is adding components that V&H have tunes for, I would go strictly for the Fuelpak and maybe a x14ied for the closed loop driving.
