You can get a different style so the rear cylinder pipe goes around the nose cone if you don't like that and don't have floorboards. Same price , one's called the B style the other's called the C style.

I just got mine. I told them I was in no hurry because the bike was getting put up for the winter. It probably took 5-6 weeks.
Had to laugh about the balled up newspaper packing. Must be something for the grandkid to do when he visits on the weekends. Great chrome, very good welds. Can't wait to put it on. If it doesn't rust like the TH thats coming off, I'll be happy.

I have never polished mine in a year, just dusted it off with a brush from time to time. It looks like the day I bought it, well except for the carbon and the other ooops marks I have put on it , oh well you know what I am trying to say, no rust at all!

Default rb racing 2into1 spider

ordered mine on august 20th and i got an e-mail with the tracking number yesterday, sept 27, 5 weeks so far, i haven't got it yet, but at least it seems that they have shipped it.
i'm really looking forward to put it on and dyno the bike, a couple of weeks ago my dealership was offering free dyno tests, i took the chance and got it done, the bike pulled out 77.43 pounds of torque and 73.85 horse powers.
i've sent an e-mail to rb with attached a copy of the dyno report to inform them about the results.
i have an 06 FLHX with stock engine, scraming eagle race tuner, air cleaner and rinehart true duals, i think this is one of the most popular configuration for twin cam baggers in the entire world.
i was basically telling the guys at RB that i was happy to have ordered their product, i loved the look, but, for the money they ask it better perform better than my actual configuration, otherwise would have been very hard to justify the more than 1.000 $ invested, especially while i decided to buy their product after carefully reading their web site (http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/index.htm) and getting convinced by their way to talk about performances and their experience.

this is the answer i got from them:

"We do not make predictions or guesses.


__________________________________________________ _________________________


Crystal ***** and Astrology



You win some, you lose some. Mostly we win. Like we always say it always depends on the tuner. This is not a parts changing business and we all know it's easiest to just change pipes and see what happens, but that's not science. The LSR 2-1 pipes, themselves, do not represent a "limit" as long as you choose the right pipe for your application. The rest of the equation is getting the parts and tuning to work together.

Just put the damn thing on the road, open her up, and see what she'll do. Let the metal scream."

with no signature...

not very encouraging nor professional...but...

at this stage i really can't wait to put the bike on the dyno, i'll get back here to tell you the results, we'll then see if these guys at RB are just full of ****, or if they really are worthed the money they charge.

got the exhaust last friday, installed last sunday and tuned it last tuesday.

almost 80 HP, and i have a stock 88 c.i. just with stage one screaming eagle.

now that it is all said and done i can tell that i'm 100% satisfied with everything at RB, customer care, timing, shipping and handling, packaging and most than anything performances.
the only complain i have is about the price, it has costed me $ 1.300 once it was all done.
i think it's a lot of money, its a great product i love that its custom made in USA, no China ****, but still, $ 1.300 its' to much, it should be just under $ 1.000 and then it would have been great overall, without the bitter pill of the price.

at this stage i'm pretty sure that the guy complaining and bitching about them is the one they refer to in the eat **** and die part of their site, most likely is what he deserves.

Default Rb Lsr Pricing

There are many different types of mufflers to choose from(as well as no mufflers at all) and also finishes that affect the price, I went chrome with chrome heat shields and the standard baffle and it was about 700. Best to look for yourself on pricing.

i got the exhaust, the heat shields and their aluminum exhaust cilinder gaskets, all in ceramic coated black, not the gaskets, obviously.
plus insured shipping, ended up at $ 1,300.
i'm now running the pipe since a week, it's great and the bike really perfomr more and better, got to tell you, though, it's loud, sensibly louder than my rinehart true duals, which as a matter of fact i'm not going to sell, if i'll do a long trip with my wife i might put the back on for that.

ooops, i forgot the $ 230 that HD charged me for the dyno tuning...it was supposed to be $ 328, thank god my buddy works there...

so at the end, $ 1.530 was the total, will i do it again if i'd go back?

to be honest, no, i don't think so, but now is done and i enjoy it!
