I hope this doesn't **** alot of people off, but are you not concerned that everyone and their mother is buy these pipes? They're everywhere.

Goes to show that V&H did a great job in coming up with these things or was it Jesse James with his Hell Bent design?

I don't know, to each their own, lots of chrome, good looks, but as many say, to many, too common.

Go ahead everyone, beat me up now!

I had the Big Radius.
I took them off and now enjoy Rineharts.
They're in my garage if you want to float me a price..
Why did you switch to the Rineharts over the Big radius?

They look and sound 100% better IMO.
Nobody has them, where E V E R Y B O D Y has a set of Big Radius.

No need to beat you up on this one man I couldn't agree more. Like I said I do get tired of seeing them everywhere but that sound is what I want. I may switch down the road some day esp. once I go with new rims, etc. but for now I do love 'em. I gotta say James' design was the one that got it right and V&H just took off on his design.

I am really digging those crossovers though!

I've always loved the sound of the deep rumble of the Rinehart's, but they've always been too spendy for my taste. So I stuck with my SEII with BCT baffles. I also love the sound and looks of the V&H BSS and BR, but everybody around here is running them and it's hard to be a little different when you're riding a black FXST. But for the 2006 and older bikes that don't use O2 sensors, Rinehart is closing out their pipes and I've been told V&H will do the same soon. I picked up a set of the Rinehart's flush cuts for $500 from Metric Thunder and have since found them from eBay stores for $469. The performance from the flush cuts is amazing. They seem to really compliment the stage 1. I need to update my signature pic with the new Rinehart's and chrome engine kit.

I just ordered my Big Radius 2to2 Black for the 2008 Nightrain along with the Commander III and I am excited as hell to get em. Expected delivery is 06/05/08, you know they will be installed by the 6th.

&lt\\;P&gt\\;I just installed the Rinehart cross-back staggard exhaust, I see big radius and big shot staggard pipes EVERYWHERE.&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;I wanted my bike to look different from the crowd. &lt\\;/P&gt\\;

&lt\\;P&gt\\;I have the BR on my Custom, and my pops has the Rhineheart true duals or whatever they are called on his RKC, and in my opinion&amp\\;nbsp\\;I prefer the sound of the Rhinehearts way better, and i believe they are a better made product.IMO.&amp\\;nbsp\\; I saws the BR on a few bikes and thought they were the coolest looking pipes ever, now i am looking for something a little more unique like upswept fish tails or something of the sort, never seen them round here yet.&amp\\;nbsp\\; &lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
