Default Which exhaust tip?

I'm planning on putting some slip ons on our 2010 Ultra Classic. I am going with RD Exhaust. I like the Gatlin Eclipse tips, but my wife prefers the Excalibur Eclipse. Would like to get some other opinions. Thanks.

I guess the only person that can answer that is you. Only advice I can give is get what you want. It's your bike and if someone else persuades you to get something other than what your gut tells you to get, you'll most likely regret it every time you you look at your bike. JMO.

Is it your bike or your wife's?

I'm coming to La Vernia today...

That's the truth.... and means as much as someone else's opinion as to the aesthetics of YOUR motorcycle.

Going with the OL's choice on something that inconsequential is a no brainer for me.

I wouldn't get either of them

Supetrapps have a much nicer selection of end caps IMO

I would go with your OL's choice. Your less likely to get crap for it later...lol. That train of thought has always worked well for me.
