I have not found the V&H Big Shots to be responsible for torque loss. I am no expert, but from what I have gathered, you typically lose HP and torque with 2 into 2 style pipes (e.g., the V&H Short Shots or Big Radius). I rode a stock LR twice and my Stage 1 LR (DK Customs 587 AC, Big Shots 2 into 1, and PV2 Tuner) 2015 is faster and pulls harder.


The Big Shots staggered exhaust appears to be 2 -into-2 style pipes but are actually a 2 -into-1 style pipe.

They are a 2 into 2 with a cross over.

Got in an 85 mile ride today, the mileage is now at 7045 miles.

More drama though with the rear wheel/tire not holding air pressure...checked tire pressures before my ride this morning and the NEW rear tire was at 28 psi, not a good sign, so I aired it up to 40 psi cold for my ride. It's holding now at 39psi after sitting for over an hour.

Spoke with the service manager that maybe the wheel is somehow leaking air? I dono... Anyway, what the hell, it's under warranty, they can replace every part on this frickin' bike till they get it corrected...I'm startin' to get pissed, can you tell?

Mine used to fall off around there stock. With the high flow intake, slip on and V&H VP3 it pulls good right up to 6,000+ now.

Go around the rim and tire with windex. Just spray it all over and wherever you have a leak it will foam up.

That works on zits, burns & cuts as well, right?

What is a Predator front engine mount & what is the benefit?

It is an aftermarket front engine mount with a stabilizer bar on it. It lowers vibrations at most rpms and stops the side to side wobble.

Here is a link to a 30 page thread on it and the manufacture.

The local dealer had the HD demo truck up today with a load of bikes for demo rides. Here are a few pictures I took of the 2016 Low Rider in purple.
