Don't want to start a troll, But need some input.

I purchased a 09 RK and want to do the stage 1 upgrade. Talked to Fuelmoto and can't decide between a PC-V, AC , and Jackpot slipons or PC-V, AC and Rinehart slipons. Cost difference about $300?

I have heard the rineharts and like the sound. Never heard the Jackpots in person, but wonder if the rinehart is worth an additional 300?

Opinions?

 

This is a question ONLY YOU can answer. You need to listen to each and see what YOU like. What I or anyone else likes will not help you. Both are great IF you like how they sound.

 

I would go with the Jackpots .. If truly not happy with them should be able to recover most of the money paid on them .. Personally I think the Jackpots sound great ..

 

Agreed that the look and sound is a personal preference and both will get the job done.

You may want to ask Jamie if both perform the same. And how much it costs to change baffles in each if you want to go quieter or louder.

 

No suggested opinions on Rineharts or Jackpots. However, I've purchased FuelMoto's Package which consists Rush Slash Downs with 2" baffles, AC and PCV. Very pleased with the outcome and sound. It's like Bolt-On and Go by yourself.

Good Luck,

Thorey

 

If you are just doing slip on's, whatever. If you were doing a full system I would say Rinehart for sure. I don't have any first hand experience with Jackpot slip ons but read a lot of good stuff about them.

 

I would have to say Reinharts. I just put a set on my Roadking and I love them.

 

Both are a good choice. The Jackpot dyno tuned pipes have a left and right muffler, different baffle in the left side, ensuring tq #s are kept up.

 

This is really a tough decision. I have looked around to see if I can find anyone close with the Jackpots to listen and get a first hand look at. Have seen and like the Rineharts and my other bike has V&H straight shots, so it is too loud.

Would like to order soon, but can't make up my mind.

Sound quality is subjective, but you will get a bit more performance out of the Jackpots because of their asymmetrical design. If you do find some Jackpots to listen to, be sure they're the new-generation model, which has been out <1 yr. and sound quite different compared to the old. I personally like the sound quality of the new type, and the construction quality is excellent. If you want black or polished tips you can also get these for the JP's ($150), as well as four different baffle types (quiet to loud).

You might ask FM about the status of Reinhart, as I heard from a reliable source a few months ago that Bub's was no longer going to manufacture them. I don't know if they are being made elsewhere or stopped production, but I would want to know before shelling out that kind of money. Ask FM, as they will know, and if there is a production issue that would affect the product in the future they would undoubtedly tell you prior to purchase.
