Short Shots vs Bassani Sweepers
i have a 2011 iron 883. i am looking to upgrade the exhaust, a/c and the add a fuel pak. i am thinking about either the v&h short shots or the bassani radial sweepers. i have watched sweveral you tube videos on the two pipes. i like the deep tone of the v&h and the looks and sound of the bassani. i think the bassani made be too loud for an all day ride. if anyone that has experience with either of the pipes would tell me your thoughts it would be greatly appreciated

My Buddy has the Shortshots, an fuel pac an SE filter on his EFI 1200C
V&H pipes and Rush slip on's are the only sound for me.
If yer worried about too loud, go V&H pipes and quiet baffles.
Yeah I think them radials would be too loud for me,,I have herd em.
Loud pipes suck
I'm not a look at me person
I want the deep base sound XD

I have the v&h's shortshots and i like em. my friend has the straight shot and another friend has the bassani. they all sound and look good on our respective bikes. if u go with the bassani, my boy did have clearance issues with the stock air cleaner, so keep that in mind. I'm a fan of loud pipes, because you want to be seen by idiot drivers. You'll notice a difference in congested traffic your first time riding with loud pipes as opposed to stock.

Thanks for the replies guys. I am looking at the all black pipes to make my bike completely black. I really like the looks of the bassani sweeper, my fear is they will extremely loud. I love loud pipes but there is a point where on a long trip they can be two loud.
Blumpkin would u say thy bassani sweepers are louder than the short shots. I have noticed videos the short shots seems to have a deeper tone to them also. Not many people in area run loud pipes so it is difficult to hear them in person

If you are worried about being too loud you are deciding on the wrong pipes. Both are loud, look elsewhere.

I heard a bike today with the short shots and I really like the sound of them. They have a really deep sound to them.
