Talking Good Morning. New member / 1st post

Happy to have found this site, and look forward to getting to know everyone. I have been back on a bike, for a little over a year and a half. I have a 2009 Street Glide Red Hot SunGlo, it is my first Harley...and I love it. My wife rides an 09 XL883L and she loves it...us riding together has been really cool.

Not sure if this is the place to post this but, after a year and 6k I am now ready to change the stock pipes. Looking for V&H Monster Ovals or the Big Radius 2 into 2. Don't want really loud, but want the ability to have it loud when I want. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Don't know about u the MO's sound, the son had BR's 2-2 on his last bike and they are on the loud side..
The br's did make pretty good numbers and has decent tq low rpms... most 2-1's will be better across the board than 2-2.
V&H makes quite baffles for the BS's pipes that deepens the sound and drops the db's about 3. U Might check into them for the BR's..

Congrats on Ur bikes and Welcome to the forum.
