    So my nightrod 2013 has TAB slip on's, i cant stand the look of this exhaust and was going to get the Vance n Hines comp 2-1 system in black.. but its sold out in OZ and the next shipment is 2mths away and already sold out im told.. as i spoke with the supplier (cassons)

    Where in Australia, or QLD can i get this system from as it looks to be very similar to the vance hines

    i guess my question is...

    how does it compare to the vance  and hines in regards to quality, and performance gains? $299 is cheap.. but not if its junk!

    mine is a 2013, it only mentions up to 2011

    the old CFR pipe could be another option for you... loud and have a similar look to the comp pipes

    if it was me i'd stick out the wait for V&H, although the heat they generate on your right leg is insane in summer, they transform the look of your bike as much as the sound!

    I purchased my V&H S/S brushed 2 into 1 Competition pipes from mandmcycles.com

    They cost me AU$595.00 +freight and were at my door within 7 days....not $1,000.00 retail here.

    Mine is a 2012 VRSCDX Night Rod Special Anniversary edition in Silver and looks AND sounds Awesome...I also purchased some shit Chinese bits for her that did not fit and are still in my shed with the boxes gathering dust...so much for cheap parts...if it helps ya..j

    How are you supposed to go around a right hander at any speed with that vance and hines 2-1
    Try the bub7 2-1

    Hquick, I'm getting very interested in the dan moto systems 2:1. How you finding it? Set up wise once on, in terms of tuning what works best I wonder? You have TSS tuner, I wondered about the SERT.. So used to carbies though. Did you have to dyno once your dan m was on. Noise is subjective but is it loud? I was thinking supertrapp v 5 but they're $1200 now. Not trying to skimp though just prioritise along with other bits and pieces needed to be done. Also, not wanting to hijack this thread..

    Hey Guys,

    A mate put the CFR exhaust on his original headre
    To be honest I wasnt sure at first
    but after hearing them - I am SOLD
    cost him about $650 delivered from Ghost Rider Customs in the States
    GR are good for vrod customs
    Another mate has the V & H Comp pipe - it does sound good but not as good as the CFR
    They both look like they are going to scrape on a Right hand lean
    but I like the idea of the original headers with the CFR as I have ridden both and the V & H is awkward near the right foot / calf
    you need to be disjointed and fark is it hot
    And if you get an EPA notice it is easier to replace stocks back on

    I was looking at Danmoto as well and some of guys have themas well
    sound good but discolour terrably within 6 months
    i think its because it isnt mapped correctly
    After sales service is good with Danmoto and they communicate really good

    CFR is the go !

    Yeah Tony, it's great re the heat, they look good too, as mentioned mine is white and I went to a Melb. dealer and was quoted $90.00 each for the actual bindings (was told I'd need two) I then casually asked if they could bind the pipes and was enthusiastically told Yes yes, we can do that "no worries"..."How much" says I..."oh..probably an hour or a bit more" says he..."what is the going rate at the moment?"...."$130/hr +GS fuckenT =$143 dollars an hour...wonder why I didn't get them there...I purchased more than enough on the net for $60.00, and had fun winding the bloody things on myself (from the muffler to the head) after immersing them in water,,, an matey....it looks hot....

    My pipes look good Tony, (V&H Comp.) but shit mate they are VERY noisy and it's only a matter of time....hope this helps mate....j

    Hi Guys,

    I am looking at fitting V&H comp pipe on my 012 night rod but i am now interested in the Akropovic 2-1 as another option. has anyone fitted one of these or know someone who has ? Everyone says that ther V&H are the very best pipe for these bikes, but everyone also says they scrape while cornering to the right, they throw off that much heat that you can barelly stand keeping your right leg on the peg and that they are also very loud.

    can anyone offer some advice.
