Default New Member, need advice please

Hello Everyone,

I just purchased a 2007 Springer, love the bike, love the look, hate the lack of sound. I've found two sets of pipes I'm interested in, they are the following (made by Samson):

www.samsonusa.com


Long Longtails
Long Muffler True
Dual System
Fits 2007
Softail Models

Or I figured I could go with a really radical look which would be the:

Softail Cholos
Chrome System
30" Longtail Mufflers

Assuming that I wouldn't back my bike into anything with this extended exhaust, what do you think? How would it look? My bike is black with chrome all over. Thanks for the feedback.

Pipes are a matter of what look and sound you are trying to achieve. My likes and dislikes are not the same. Personally I am not a fan of Samson pipes, but again thats me.

Howdy, welcome to the forum. Congrats on the new Springer, I put SE2's on mine at the dealership before I brought it home. Pipes are a personal thing, some like it loud, some like it mellow. Good luck on finding the right ones for you.
