How loud are Big Shot Duals?
Hello, I am just a hangaround and this is my first question for the forum.
I recently purchased a 2005 Ultra so that my wife would ride with me (the things we do for those who whine
. I previously rode a 2005 Dyna Lowrider with V&H Slash Cuts, they were pretty loud. I didnt have any bags or anything like that to dampen the sound around me though.
The Ultra is just to quite with stock pipes, and I love the looks of the V& H Big Shot Duals. Is anyone running them on and Ultra? Can you still hear your stock speakers? Does The bike being fully dressed have any affect on the sound for the riders?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Thank you for the vague almost useless reply. I was hoping for something abit more substantial than that. I thought it was apparent that I relized that the pipes were loud. Never the less....Thanks.

Gee, sorry that I'm vague and useless.
I thought I was being succinct and accurate.
Nevertheless, to me the Vance and Hines sound very good, being nice and meaty. However, they are way too loud for me personally, and even slightly too loud with their own quiet baffles. I would prefer just a bit more of a baffle that would knock it down a couple more db, still keep it loud enough to be heard for safety, and also eliminate even more of the high frequencies, giving it an even beefier sound.

Had the Staggered Big Shots on my 02 Fatboy. My neighbor commented once that he thought a helicopter was landing in my backyard.
I now have the V&H Power Dual Header with the Monster Rounds .... "Real Nice"
Deep Rumble not obnoxious.
The Big Shots were great for setting off car alarms.
