Finally, got pics of my pipes. They sound nice...not too loud, but like a Chevy V8. Next, I'll put my bags on. I can't wait to get out and ride with you guys. :D

I agree with Mark, they look sweet, I bet the sound is great as well. Can't wait to hear them myself.

kEWL Pipes! :D
If you get that sled down south (Cedar City or vicinity) then let me know. I want to hear them and see what they look like up close and personal. I'm assuming those are the RoadHouse brand. I've been looking at them as well, so I can't wait 'em on your bike.
Have fun with it!

Doc, they are Roadhouse and I'm happy as a clam with them. Rode today and am even happier. They're not real loud (which maked my wife happy), but will bark when you get on the throttle. Quality is 100%. I'm sure I'll be down your way when the weather gets a little warmer. :lol:

Isn't the tip on your pipes the Cadillac?
Roadhouse is saying, on the new line of Harley Mufflers, up to a 30% increase in performance with the 2 1/4 serrated stainless steel covers. Did you notice that kind of a power increase or are your serrated pipes, more for show than go, since that appears to be an option.
I noticed a like 10% (Roadhouse advertises) increase in power with my Roadhouse Shorty slipon, but 30%, wow.
All I've got to say, is for the money, ease of installation, and the sound produced, I sure like my Roadhouse slipon too.
Can hardly wait to hear your pipes. :shock:

This is a Cadillac tip and the serrated pipes are actually heat shields that cover the exhaust pipes coming off the heads. Seat of pants dyno tells me that I've got more power and I feel like my bike is more responsive than it was with stock pipes. I can't say that I can feel 30% increase, though.
My son installed the pipes (with a little help from his mother) while I was out of town. They're pretty easy to install and look great, imho.
I can't wait for warmer weather to get together with you guys for a ride. :lol:
