    Hey Guys,

    Well I have a set of V&H Big Shot Black Staggered on there way. Hopefully they arrive early this week.

     

    So any tips for a newbie changing over exhausts? I've read the V&H instruction and it all seem pretty straight forward.

    Already ordered the new gaskets. That's a no brainer!

    No chrome as I went with the black V&H pipes.

    they come with easy read instructions
    and be careful with the black coating on the heat sheilds it will scatch and come off really easy

    I picked up the new pipes Tuesday but forgot to order the O2 bungs but they arrived Thursday. Then I ran out of time as I had to head back out to work. The plan is fit them wednesday afternoon over a few beers then a beach ride thursday morning.

     Pipes fitted with no dramas and my Heavy Breather turned up as well. I love the sound of these pipes. Very deep throaty compared to the S&S slipons and even louder. Also feels a little more torquey but at the lost of some top end power. Now I will get it dyno tuned back in Gladstone at its next service so it will be setup for these pips and the heavy breather.

    Pipes look good and suit your bike, I see you also went the screaming eagle lampshade, nice looking bike.

    Brett those pips looks shit hot.......baffles or no baffles that is the question.  looks like you will have to ride at the back of the pack so the rest of us dont loose our hearing (more)

    I fitted a set of V&H short shots to my softy today

    looks shit hot (IMO),
    Big mistake though
    As the h/power loss was very noticable

    So im back in the market for a shit-hot look with performance.(if there's such a thing)

    Any suggestions? Ideas? links?
    prefferablly a short set-up that will not scrape.
    Application is for a 94 Heritage.

    cheers

    I have a set of V & H 2 into 1's for sale soon, as soon as my V & H black short shots arrive

    the 2 into 1 pipes i have sound sick, but they are chrome and just dont suit the all black look of my n/train.

    so make an offer if ur interested :)
