Big shot duals
Just wanting a few comments about the Big shot duals from folks that have them on there bike, are you happy with the sound/performance? I have a 2010 Electra Glide Ultra Classic and have Rush slip-on's and am not happy with the sound or performance. Thanks in advance for your comments. Chris

I have them on mine and am happy with them. I did not put these on the previous owner did. There are baffels in them but no packing of any kind on the baffles ( just a cone shaped perforated tube right at the end of the pipes). The left side baffle rattles a little but next week I will have the heat shield off and will fix. My ridin buds say the pipes are loud when they are behind me and I am accelerating hard. Been on some pretty long rides (3 days) and did not bother me as most of the sound goes out the back. I ran 2" drag pipes on my shovel in my younger years and allways rode on the right side of bikes with a good sound so I may like them a little louder than most people. Always hated not being able to tell if my bike was running or not when louder bikes were around. Can't get enough of that potato.

I'm following this thread too. I'm considering these on my '11 Limited.
Do they look good on the bike as well as sounding good?

I really like the looks of the right side where the rear stock pipe used to be. I guess most true duals will do this on my model year not sure if the pipe is routed the same on the 09 and up with the frame change. The chrome is very good quality. Overall I like the shotgun look over the expanded and tapered look. JMO and I am sure other people like different stuff. Thats the best part of owning a HD having so many options not available on other manufacturers. At first pipe on left got a little hot for the OL but after my new cal (other owner never dynoed) it wasn't as bad and she stopped complaining.

One more thing on performance. I know a lot of people have commented in these forums about true dual performance being less than 2 into 1 but I haven't been able to tell in the buttometer and unless your at the strip or a dyno shootout thats what counts to me. And for baggers I like the looks of pipes on both sides.

i put em on my 2011 rkc last week and so far i love em. loud enough to shake the pillars of heaven and they look sexy as hell. I'm thinking about going with the fishtail tips soon. I got some pretty mean looks from a 1sg trying to have a formation in the parking lot though.
