Default Thoughts on V&H SideShots?

I'm thinking about putting a set of V&H Sideshots on my '06 NT. I like 'em because they're simple and you don't see them everywhere and I kinda think thats what the NightTrain is all about to begin with. What do you guys think?

the more I see them the more I like them. I put Shortshots on mine but the more I look at the sideshots I may have to change. There are pics of them on the pic thread. The big plus is they have the power chamber which helps the torque a little

I had the side shots on my bike for a while. I loved them. No one ever had the same pipes as me. I think you should go for it.

Go for it. You seldom see them and they are great looking pipes!

Go for it and if you think they are a little too loud you can always throw in some quiet baffle. They look good and I agree; NT's should be kept simple and clean.

The on thing I forgot to mention is that I scraped the end of them on high speed sharp turns. No big deal as no one else could see it, but I knew I had done it. When I changed pipes and sold the sideshots the new looked at the end and shrugged.

They look great, but be warned they are way loud, also they do manage to hit the ground a lot!!
