I have been kicking around the thought of these pipes since I got my RK, I have seen pics of the pipes, but there is something I haven't seen.....where the pipes aren't. Can someone please post a pic of the rear and left side of your bike with the big radius, preferably on a RK
I'm curious also about the Vance Big Radius. They look absolutely evil but I haven't seen or heard them in person yet. From the pictures I have seen the baggers look balanced because there is no pipe on either side. Would only be concerned about the noise while touring... I had Rush 2.0 slip-ons on my '07 883R and they sounded incredible but would make my head pound after about an hour because the sound came right up from the pipes to my ears. Lovin' my Monster Ovals but wouldn't mind having the Big Radius for around town use and the Monsters for touring.
Thanks for the pics... looks good!!! I would have to go with the black Big Radius for mine. How is the sound and volume compared to the Monster Ovals? I wonder if anyone makes stretched saddle bags without the cut-out for the mufflers. Could possibly have some extensions fabricated. The 2010 radius extended saddle bag bottoms would look good with the Big Radius also.
I believe both Bad Dad and Milwaukee Baggers makes extended bags w/o cut outs.....I have heard them on quite a few 96" in person, but its always been a dyna or soft tail....I can't imagine they would sound much different on a bagger. They are loud and have a real good snarl when you twist the grip
I had a set on my cross bones and I must say I miss the hell out of them. With the baffles they were loud with a nice tone. I pulled the baffles out and geezus christ those sum bitches were loud and the suck back between gears was hellacious! I loved them but my riding buddies all hated them. Only because they wanted the loudest bike but I would always drown them out. LOL. I've seriously contemplated putting V&H big radius pipes on my Road Glide but I have a better plan that will be even nastier. bwhahahaahaaa! I say go for it if you like em.
The only problem is, if I get them, I will HAVE to get stretched bags or chrome wheels and rotors and probably lower the bike.......at least that's what I will lead the wife to believe
