Default New paint & pipes

Just finished painting my tank & fender & had ordered some Martin Bros. shockwaves when my wife lost her job. I was able to cancel the pipes. Now it looks like she has found a new job, so the pipes could maybe ordered again.
However a friend told me he thought the V&H BSS fit the design of the paintjob better. He says when he sees my bike it reminds him of hotrods & def. the shockwaves are more modern. I know the BSS are commoner than fleas, but I would like some opinions on the paint/pipes setup - Thanks

I have the shockwaves but the V&H BSS would look better I think with your bike

Bike looks great, BUT if you wanted to stick with a Hotrod theme check out Santee's Lake pipes with the 5" turnout...much cheaper than Martin Bros as well

My neighbor has had a set of them on his Softail Custom for over 3 yrs and they still look great...need torque cones though

You can check them out at http://www.legendmcs.com/custom-chro...antee-new.html
