What kind of bars do you have? Those are pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I wanna go beach bar and they look really good...

Cheers!
The fishtails are just the V&H end caps. Same standard baffles.

The bars are HD Fat Bars, part number 56675-05 (fits '03-'07) comes with riser kit. I love 'em.

To each his own I guess. I had them on my 10 SG. Sold them last week for $200 just to get rid of them. I hated them. I rode with ear plugs most of the time to avoid headaches. The loudest pipes Ive ever heard, and that was after I put the quiet baffles in (which didnt help). Also, I had Heavy Breather and a stage 1 download, and I consistantly got my *** handed to me by bone stock 96ci harleys. And FYI, Im only 30 and my previous bike was a 117ci Big Dog Pitbull with Hooker straight pipes. So this isnt som "old guy" who hates the young wippersnappers and thier loud pipes. I hate stock pipes, but if your considering Big Shots, I strongly suggest hearing them in person, and if at all ride beside someone with them before you pull the trigger.

If you want to hear quiet baffles, look in my other videos for my buddy's Springer. He is actually going to swap back to standards.

the quiet baffles did deepen the sound slightly, but made my front end shake too much for me. So, I switched back to standards.

They are not as loud as most think, my other buddy with Hard Krome pipes, now that's loud!

Also, big thing to remember, get a set of Floor Board extenders or your foot board will be right against the pipe on the right side.

2 1/8" muffler bodies with 2 1/2" heat shields. They are also a stepped header design.
