That how I ran my pipes for a long time wrapped front, painted rears looked good. I like the short shots better. Probably not what ya wanna here but them shorties sound sick.
Tx would know about the bushings than I do. I just don't see the need on a balanced motor.

Is there really that big of a difference in sound between my short shots and the big radius if they both are running without baffles??

Don't have an answer for but I do have a question. Those don't look like V&H Big Radius. Who makes them. I believe WCC made the original "big radius" pipes. Since then lots of manufacturers have come out with their version. I run a set of Hooker Troublemakers that have the BR with slash down.

They are The big radius pipes for 2005 and older models. Believe me they are Vance and hines pipes.

I think he is. I like Jesse's hell bent pipes but they are just a tad too pricy.

What a Great thread, been reading and gawking here for the past 2 weeks it seems.
Bought my 09 train this August, it picked me cause I thought I had wanted a fat bob but the Train kept pulling me over and telling me how good it would look in my garage. It's all "plain jane" at the moment but I'm sure we can change all that over this winter. Great looking bikes in this thread with a plethera of information about the Night Train. Please post more pics, I feel like I have reached the end of the internet!
