sharknose- im interested. Ive always been but my pops told me that my wife would never ride with the pipe being so close to her ear. This is my first bagger and i told my wife i bought it so she could ride with me. Shes going to be pissed if she cant hear out of her right ear from these big radius pipes. They do look cool as hell though.

I haven't got to ride it yet for the ice, and I never ran the stock baffles, but I would say if you went on long trips she probably wouldn't like it. It would make talking harder for sure.

They sound great! Who cares what he wife/girlfriend think? They should be on their own bike anyway.

Sounds like your one of those "who needs a wife anyway types" Perfect example of what not to do when you get married.
