I have a 09 fatboy with pillion footboards for the missus. Can anyone tell me if V&H big radius 2 into 2 will fit with the pillion footboards fitted? Also anyfeedback on there sound? Thanks
Hey man, I'm wanting to put the rear boards on mine as well, i reckon they'll fit,this is my '07 with V&H big radius
Forgot to mention the sound, i personally love the sound, i had S&S slip ons on it from new, it had a real low rumble note, i liked that. But i put the V&H on it this year, now more of a crack than a rumble if that makes sence. I changd the pipes 'cause it was a pain in the arse to get the axle out to change tyres, having to remove the slip ons everytime. i was told to turn the axle around, but i wasn't game enough to do that. I don't regret it, riders behind me think they are loud, but from where i sit, they sound shweeeeet. That's just my opinion of cause.
Thanks Fatboy Mick, The V&H 2:1 look great on your bike. Still like to know if there gunna fit before I fork out for the pipes because the rear boards will have to stay
My CVO Fat Boy came with Wide Radius courtesy of the previous owner. So loud I was sure I get done for noise so I took them back to the dealer and had the original SE2 pipes refitted. Much nicer sound, very deep, BUT LOUD!!!! Worse than the V&H although the tone is better. I'd have gone back the the V&H because I love the look, but the bike performs a zillion times better with the extra back pressure from the SE2s and just a bit of decel popping - the V&H backfired loud enough to have pedestrians hitting the deck. (Long winded way of saying the V&H looked a million bucks but had a neg impact on performance).
