Apparently it's a pretty unpopular choice. I've been waiting for this pipe for a couple years and finally got the notice that it's ready to go. I should have it in about a week and I post pics once I get it bolted up.

In the meantime, does anyone else have this (black) pipe?....Search revealed nothing. Pics would be nice...

Here's a copy/paste from ebay: (but I ordered from DK)

 

I haven't seen a black one yet.... looks nice...

 

I wish they were available last year....I wanted black pipes so I went with the 2-2.

 

I have it in chrome, so I know you'll be happy with the performance and sound.

 

I wanted the black, but was afraid it was "denim" black and wouldnt work with my bike. After seeing them hanging at the dealer yesterday, the look almost "gloss" to me and wish I had gone that route. Havent installed mine, but expect a nice roar.

 

the black looks great, see in the v&h website it looks better :

Got the pipes yesterday. Put them on tonight. Haven't had a chance to get a pic yet.

I like them, but it's definitely a different look. They're not for everyone, that's for sure.....maybe that's why it's taken so long for them to become available.

The finish is a bit fragile. For anyone considering installing them yourself, be careful and patient. It doesn't take much at all to scratch the finish. I just barely bumped them against the passenger peg and put a gouge in the pipe. It's pretty well hidden after install, but still a real pisser. Everything else was fairly straight forward as far as install, but I was missing a bolt in the package....

The black finish isn't "wrinkle" or "denim", it's just a flat black that doesn't really match anything else on the bike. It most closely resembles the leather seat (and saddlebags).

Antway, I hope to get pics posted tomorrow night if all goes well.

 

What do you think of the sound?

 

Interested to see the pics.

 

I was looking at those for the XBones; I think they look suuwweeett.
