This is what my Sport Glide looks like with a Memphis Shades Gauntlet fairing that I modified the brackets to make it fit.

Low end torque, did you perceive any loss with these pipes?

Sound, what baffles do you have in them and what do you think of their sound.

Drone effect, after an hour ride, does your head feel numb?

Thanks
Ted

Hi Ted

Here are my replies, sorry the lateness of my reply mate:

Low end torque, did you perceive any loss with these pipes? None whatsoever, in fact it's improved but I do have a stage two kit on the bike with the torque cams.

Sound, what baffles do you have in them and what do you think of their sound. Standard V&H baffles that came with the exhaust, sound is amazing, have about 2000k on the clock now but when I get to around 8-10k they will sound incredible. Had the same on my NIghtrain.

Drone effect, after an hour ride, does your head feel numb? No way, never, still can't get the stupid grin off my face, have just completed a 1300 kilometer ride over 3 days and loved every minute of that sound, particularly when over taking.

I will see if I can edit a video on the sound at idle and post for you. Hope my answers helped.

Here is a video of my bike at idle parked next to my sons stock standard Street Glide hire bike. You can still hear my bike in the background even when I have the phone up against his exhaust. His bike was running the entire time. So the V&H for me with the stage II are great.

Thanks Aussie HD, Pipes sound great. Will probably go that route when I install the SE 447 cam which I already purchased

Anyone know if you can get bigger panniers like the Road Glide to fit the current mounts?
