Opinions on V&H Big Shots staggered..?

Ok, yeah, the red loctite may be overkill but it's what I had in the shop at the time. I got my pipes second hand also. I only paid $300 for em and the only blemish is the front heat shield has a spot where the chrome is peeled. That might be a winter project coming up... thinking of powdercoating them black. Happy baffle swapping!

They will def be an improvement over the shorties performance wise. You'll notice a much deeper note from them, too. I run the Big City Thunder Monster baffles in mine and the sound is perfect for me. Then again, you almost can't make pipes loud enough to suit my taste, haha. NOTE: Red Loctite the end caps! I lost one on a poker run and just happen to find a guy here on the forums who had a spare set. From V&H they are not cheap!
Guys thank you all, great reviews and responses, I was thinking about the BCT also... I want loud and proud... Lol... Can you all suggest which one or does anyone have a set they want to part with... Once again thank you for the help

I'm a sportbike guy/racer who stopped by a Harley shop Saturday and fell in-love with the street bob. I'm certain she's gonna be in my garage very soon. Big Shots were already at the top of my list before I joined this site and saw this post, but this sure helped. Thanks! Besides that, air filter and some sort of power commander or something is in order I imagine. Can anyone give me some help there? I'm wearin my google out today...lol

Crap, I get the box open on the BSS and the mounting bracket is there but none of the washers, bolts... etc.. plus my buddy said there was a couple of scratches on the front heat shield along the bottom at the tip and along the right side.. there gouges.. but I can live with them for now.. not real bad, but a little unsightly..said he forgot.. oh well lesson learned.. So I called V&H ordered the hardware.. not bad 10.09 for all the bolts and etc.. asked about a new heat shield for the front.. the guy said 168.00 ,.......WTF.... I fell out of my chair..lol ..So now I have to wait for the hardware to come in.. not the end of the world.. If anyone has a front heat shield for the BSS.. please let me know and what the cost would be.. I dont want to have to be violated by V&H.. Thanks again
