Oh she likes them! Because she doesn't know about them. She only notices the exterior parts. Plus the cams were free.

Ask her to surprise you and get em for you. Afterall, it is her idea. In exchange, you'll install it free of charge!

Well, any suggestions on exhaust? I want to keep the 2-1. Have not heard a FatCat in person. I have a Road Rage. I have heard a ProPipe on a built softtail.

A friend of mine has the V&H Pro pipe 2-1 on a SE UC and I do not like the sound. It's this weird higher pitch sound. Hard to describe.

I had the Basic slip-ons on my 07 RK and LOVED the sound! IMO that is the way the HDs are supposed to sound.

For my new '10 SG I have ordered the V&H Twin-slash cut slip on and we'll see what that sounds like. It should be here this week I hope I like it.

Maybe you should consider ceramic coating it in the silver finish, that is real close to chrome.
