Anyone running V&H Basic slip ons on a 07/08 touring bike with the stock head pipes and stage 1? How's the sound, performance? I want a nice deep sound but still want to hear the radio. Thinking of the basics, Ness BS and Fuel Pak.

 

They are nice and sound good they have a 2 inch baffle inside them. And power commander has maps on there web site for the new 08s I also have a few maps that run a little richer then what they offer.

I have them on my Roadking Custom with true duels and v&h fuel pak. You won't have any problem earing the radio.

 

Loud when youneed them to be, nice rumble and throaty when just cruising down the road.

 

I've got them on my 07 FLHX (stock headers) and love 'em.

I listened to several different brands/models of pipes in a side by side comparison at my dealer when I was buying the bike. I picked the ones that I felt had the throatiest low rumble with decent volume (loudness) and bark when twisting the throttle. They don't **** off the neighbors when I pull out of the neighborhood in the wee hours of the morning, but they can kick it up nicely when cranking on the throttle. At cruising highway speeds I can hear my radio just fine.

Couldn't be happier with my decision.

 

i have them, took out the baffle's just for fun, to loud now, so i cut them in 1/2...we will see how that is....

with no baffle....

 

FLHT Man,
You wouldn't happen to have a clip with the baffles in would you.

 

check out the Pythons from Eastern Performance model # 18010183 @ $289.00 to your door. These are the upslash and sound great. I am running them on my 08 Roadglide. My buddy has the other model that slash down and they sound just as good and are $20.00 cheaper.

not the stock ones, but i can get you one with cut in 1/2 ones tommrow...

 

I had a set on my 2007 RK that I liked a lot. They have a deep rumble, without being obnoxiously loud.They were a little too quiet for me (no radio to worry about), so I just replaced them with the Rhinehart true duals. The Basics do have a nice sound though, and they get better with time. I had 12,000 miles on them when I took them off and they sounded better than ever.
