Please tell me other than the sound factor, why and what benefit would I get from changing my stock pipes?

 

A very perceptible increase in performance. You will be shocked how much better your bike responds to an air cleaner kit and a set of pipes (and a PowerCommander or similar air/fuel manager if you have EFI). In my mind these are pretty close to mandatory upgrades.

 

If she can she exhale more she can inhale more = more power,= more fun,

 

If done correctly, more useable torque, and even better gas mileage.

 

Before I bought mine, I had the chance to ride identical bikes. One had stockers on it and one had true duals. There was a rather noticable difference between them and I knew I had to get the stage one done when I got mine. I went with V&H pro pipe and opted to stay with the street baffle, not a big sound difference but enough to know my neighbors wont be calling the cops at 3 a.m. when I go to work as long as I do my part with the throttle.
Well worth the expense all around.

 

Power baby[sm=icon_rock.gif].

More of it...better gas mileage...

 

OK so what should I do with my 2005 Road King Classic?

 

You could give it to me, I'd take real good care of it.[sm=goodidea.gif]

 

"Other than sound, why would I change my stock pipes??"

Do you need a reason other than that???

 

Imagine blowing as hard as you could out of a stirring straw, then blowing with the same intensity out of garden hose, less effort more volume, more room for more exahust = Power.

I think you should throw some V&H true duals on that bad boy (i think RK's have dual rears??) you will love'em. Free the lungs on your Harley and let'er breath baby !!!
