Default pipes for FLHR

My new RK is on the way and I'm wondering what slip-ons to get. I'm planning a Stage 1.
I want to make the bike more retro looking so I can't get too funky.
Suggestions?

You are going to get a ton of responses with everyone saying to get their pipes. I think the best suggestion is to go to a bunch of bike nights, poker runs, dealers on saturdays, etc. and listen and look at all of the pipes. When you find some that you like the look and sound of, ask the bike owner what they are. After looking and listening to a bunch, you will find you keep liking the set that fit what you are looking for.

I went for SE one piece touring slip ons, and they were the right ones for me, but they might not be the right ones for you, they are a couple of inches longer than stock.

I have Hooker Tuned Flows and really like the deep sound to them. They're not quiet, but they're not nearly as loud as alot of the others out there. Although when I get on the gas they'll let you know that I'm around.

V&H Ovals are the best slip ons, IMHO.
