Thanks dude, I was kinda leaning toward the Martin bros since on youtube videos they sounded a bit better. I live in NJ and nobody is riding now so I dont have any way to hear them live. I considered V&H pipes because of my sport bike days, thats all we used. BTW your bike is so sweet, I'm going to refrence it when I start modding mine.

Good to know that I can pop them on right away. The sales man at my local dealer started up a rocker from me and while the engine sounds good it's not the pipe sound I'm after. Way to quiet. Those pipes will never see the light of day.

 

Hi lucy, its a matter of personal choice really,which do you like best they are all good pipes. Twin cam engines can be stage one from point of purchase.The3 EVO and older engines needed to be run in first this no longer applies.Be cautious HD delaer ship will do a stage one and fit the pipes in England for around £600 sterling.I bought my V&H on e bay for around £300 and fitted themin about an hour. They will tell you it affects the warranty but many non HD dealers can do this in warranty or you can do this yourself fairly easily.
Hope you enjoy your new bike.

 

Very cool about taking the stocks off from the gate...they just don't make you feel you're riding a harley...vance and hines are good pipes don't get me wrong...just feel for the rocker and the look i'm going for the martin brothers shockwaves suits my needs better...and they do have a very good sound....if you do decide to go with martin brothers...the shockwaves came with a strange looking baffle that we cut almost all the way off leaving just enough for some back pressure...they do pop...but probably wouldn't if we hadn't cut the baffle...just a helpful hint for you...good luck on your decision...lets us know which way you go

 

I like my Big Radius, I don't bump into too many Rockers so I don't mind have the same exhaust. I think they flow with the lines of the bike.
I have Thunder Monster QQ baffles to give them a different sound.

 

That isnt the stock seat is it? looks like the regular rocker seat.

 

I have vance and hines shortshots on my 91 custom now but i think im gonna drop the hammer on some hooker troublemakers. Looks similar to v&h big radius but alittle cheaper and supposeably better performing.

Here is a vid i seen on youtube.

Thanks for posting that video.

 

It's the regular Rocker seat with the painted frame caps and 2 inch tank lift.

 

I have to agree with Tom Hummer, almost every Rocker (and not just Rockers) you see has the V&H Big Radius on them. I like the Martin Brothers Shockwaves as they have a unique look and you can get them in black ceramic and chrome and the same with the heat shileds. I also agree with Tom that they really look good on the Rocker adding some unique and flowing lines to the bike.

 

Well i ordered the hooker troublemakers i will throw a vid on youtube once i get them installed.

O man my wife is gonna pissed
