Default V&H big radius

Hey, anyone using the V&H big radius 2 into 2? Any feedbacks on the sound and performance? Thinking of getting it and wondering if they're too loud and need quiet baffles.

I like mine. Not overly loud with the baffles in unless you really jump on it : )

So you're using stock baffles? I'm riding the 06 too, is the big radius able to mount up with the stock passenger pegs?

By "stock" i mean the baffles that came with the V&H pipes.
No problems with the pegs either.

IMO they are one of the best looking set of pipes. I have never heard a sporty with them, but my buddy has them on a 08/ Rocker and with the baffles in they sound sweet. If I had them I would pull the baffles, but that's just me-I love it loud LOL! As long as you don't get short shots you will be just fine.

I just got mine but haven't installed them yet.
In case they are too loud with stock baffles, Big City Thunder makes baffles for these.

Let us know how they work out.

Heres a short video I did with my bike not long after I got it. Not the best quality but you get the idea.

I have them on my street bob and I love them. There not to loud at idle but have a great loud sound when you get on it. I think there great and they fit fine with my passenger pegs.

Awesome, will be getting mine soon. Just wondering if I should get the quiet baffles along with it as well.
