Welcome aboard. Got any pics of the bike?? Always good to see what others are on. Not good when it rains - it has been pissin down up here today so a ride was a no go. I bought my 1300 with a set of Cobra pipes already on and you can definitely hear it comin, goin and standin still. Depends on what your after. I would suggest to do a search on pipes and/or post questions on the 1800 board. You WILL get feedback.

I'd recommend Vance & Hines Bigshots BUT use the quiet baffles!!!! The standard ones are straight through and are LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just put a set of V&H Bigshots + Thundermonsters on my Bike Since I was tired of cars nearly taking me out when overtaking, because they "didn't know I was there"
Now they FEEL me even before i'm close, and my bike sounds like a V8 skiboat.
I love it!
plus it added a heap of power!

I have a 02 1800 C and put the V&H Big Shots on and love them. Yes a little loud but very effetive. It's raining here to so I feel your pain. Only thing isn't it summer there? Have fun on your new ride it's a blast. I really like Melborne, got a chance to spend some time there a couple of years ago. Vic Market, Phillip Island and the Great Ocean Road. You live in a wonderful area "Mate".

Went to Melbourne (Geelong actually) in March for the Ulysses AGM. The Great Ocean Road was a blast. Caught the train :oops: (tooo many tin-tops)into Melbourne to visit Elizabeth Street. You blokes are spoilt.

Hoping to head back that way in April-May next year.

Hello from the USA. I enjoyed reading your comments , and it brings back great memories. ( I was "down under" a few yrs back and it was my best trip ever. Spent 4 wks in the Victoria area!!) I have a custom VTX 1300 and love it! Any way, I was wondering if any of you would like to keep in touch on a regular basis. Good Rid'in and hope to hear from anyone interested! Gene M.
