Default Power Duals vs True dual
I have a tough question:

Currently, I have a 2012 RK classic with V&H slash cut slip ons. My initial thought was to convert to true duals next spring. However, a few people smarter than I have suggested simply installing the V&H Power Duals which they say gives me essentially the same benefits as converting to true duals at half the price.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!
