Hey all, gonna install a set of V&H Big Radius on Saturday. From what I can tell, only things I need to pick up are some snap ring pliers & anti sieze. Couple questions for those of you who slapped a set on:
1. Do you recommend new exhaust gaskets, or reuse stock.
2. Do I have to disconnect the O2 sensors at the plugs? (My guess is I can't just use an open end wrench as turning the fitting turns the whole sensor & would twist the wire?)
Appreciate any advice you have!

1. Do you recommend new exhaust gaskets, or reuse stock. Always replace, they aren't that expensive
2. Do I have to disconnect the O2 sensors at the plugs? Yes (My guess is I can't just use an open end wrench as turning the fitting turns the whole sensor & would twist the wire?) Yes it would twist the wire

By the way, did you need to install a load equalizer or anything to run them, or are they fine to install with the existing wiring? I was under the impression that you would not need to modify anything if you were just using them as blinkers--mods would only be needed if using them as combo blinker/running lights.

I will be washing it up and snapping some pics tomorrow I hope. I was skeptical at first about the blinkers but really really love them. You don't even know they are there until you are using them. I also like the way they shine on the the chrome head light and the triple tree, you can easily see them working for your self when you are riding. Brighter than stock and no problem with them being drowned out by the head light. Just take some time wiring them up so it looks like they belong there. It can look sloppy and out of place if not cleverly wired.
BTW, black to black and purple w/ black stripe to yellow.
I did use a load equalizer that I ordered from custom dynamics along with the sigs. It was very very easy to install, (plug and play). The harness for this is underneath the seat. With out the load equalizer the first 3 blinks are normal than the following blinks are a lot more rapid. It's not bad but I like them blinking at a normal rate. Works perfect. Any other questions just ask.

Make sure you post some good pics of that new blinker setup...I'm really curious to see how they look on the bike. They're on my list as well and want to see if they move up or down in my priority list!
