IMO, the Reinharts are louder, but not by much. You can always get the V&H if you prefer the look and remove the baffles. And in regards to the tail light, it's aKuryakynpart. Here's a link....

Dude,you can do it if you take your time,and if you have any mechanical ability.

If you get lost during the install,just come on here and ask someone.

There are several options regarding the covers, not too many for the panel.....at least what I found. I went with a pouch so I could put my key and garage door opener in it.

How mechanically inclined are you? I did mine, but it's somewhat involved....not bad. You have to remove the shocks, take them apart, then re-assemble.Just make sure that you use new seals and fork oil.Many here have done and can help you out. If you decide to do it,email me and I can be more detailed.

hey thanks man, also im getting ready to take my bike to harley to get my vance and hines big shot duals put on. do you guys think it would be alot louder without the baffles in.? they said when they dyno and jet it they could do it without the baffle so i wouldnt lose any power or anything. im love loud pipes and they are the loudest i been told so i want to get the most out of it. and for the popping they said they could find a map for it
