I love mine, way better than the Power Duals I took off and sold. As far as hearing the radio, at highway speeds I can hear it better now. No regrets at all here. Found mine new off Ebay for a cool $420.

I had a RKC with V&H Big Shot Duals - they were great. I then had a Street Bob with those Big Radius and decided I'm going to be getting them on my 2012 SG. The sound of these things is, IMO, absolutely perfect - no matter which framed bike they're on. A little loud for some - but just right for me. As far as the look - I'll be dropping it in the rear & tossing on forward controls too in order to give the look and feel a bit of an edge. Get'em.

I have a set of the chrome Freedom Performance Sharp Radius for sale. $449 + $39 shipping. Here is a link so you can see them. They were only on the bike for 500 miles. Like new!

I got a great deal on a set of painted stretched bags but they have the cut outs. So I am switching exhaust. Great sound! These have full length baffles. Unlike the V&H, these are one piece heat shields for a MUCH cleaner look.

Ride safe,

Jim

I have them on a '10 SG and while they are loud under acceleration you can't really hear them at all when at speed and constant throttle. I would recommend them if you like the style and that is your obly concern. Even if they were too loud you can get a quiet baffle. Other than that they look and sound great and as always the V&H quality is great. Enjoy and stay safe.

Thinking of getting them and dropping my dresser duals with the rineharts. Anyone know what the sound difference I would expect? I like the sound of my duals, but like the looks of the big radius
