Default Big shots staggered or b radius for my 08 fatty??

Man this is hard! I just got an 08 Fatty in the Candy Red Sunglow and I have it narrowed down. I had the Big Radius pipes before on a softail custom and loved them. I also like the Big Shot staggered. The problem is EVERYBODY and thier mother has the Big Radius pipes, so I was leaning towards the BSS. What do ya think....

I like the looks of both... to me it came down to sound. The Radius were going to be louder than I really wanted, while the BSS had the quiet baffles available to help muffle them a bit.

I am kind of biased myself....go with the BSS! Amazing look and sound. Love them!

Biased here as wll as you can see by my sig pic. Nice sound that can be loud when you want. Good luck with your decision.

Axeman, I have an 08 Fatty in candy Red Sunglo as well. LOVE it. I've been leaning toward the BSS VH pipes. Did you go with a fuel mgt system as well, or just a stage 1 kit? The local HD dealer is really pushing the FM system , of course leaning toward the high end system. I don't want to create a lean condition ( he claims that HD programs them lean from the factory to help meet emissions). Thoughts? Thanks, Steve

Get the long shots on that thing. They would look nasty on that thing.

You NEED a fuel management system, whether it is the SERT, PC III, ThunderMax, etc... once you add the higher-flow AC and pipes it will definitely lean it out too much.

Good luck!

I have the BBS on my 07 fatboy but I saw the new two into one big radius on a 07 fatboy. I loved the sound of the two into one and wished I would have tried them first. Check them out before you buy. They are made by Vance and Hines.

Got the V&H BSS on my 07 fatty however, would really like to run a D&D fat cat on it to pull a few more hp and trq # from it. D&D's work well with the T-Max too.

Cheers.
