So I finally got it done. That damn right side muffler about gave me a hernia trying to get the booger on. Got out to take a few pics before it got dark; crappy cellphone pics, but still pics.
This exhaust is awesome! Sounds amazing! Quieter on idle than my slip-ons were, but much MUCH deeper. Like the kinda deep that shakes empty beer cans off the toolbox when it's idling in the garage. It did that. But even though it is quieter at idle, it gets a good rip going once you rip the throttle. Louder and better sounding than the slip-ons. Oh, and absolutely zero popping on decel.

Really like the look. How is the heat on the left side?

Thanks guys, I really really like it and don't know why I didn't do it earlier. As for the heat, I'm not quite sure yet. I haven't went in a long enough ride and the weather is pretty shitty so I may not be able to until next weekend. I will say that I know for a fact that my leg rubs on the left side pipe when I go to back up, so I'm going to have to be careful of that after a long ride. Also there is a possibility of my wife's boot melting to that pipe since the peg is so close to the pipe, so there's that too, but I'll figure out a way to fix that.
So I've got some V&H black slash cut slip-ons for sale in great shape (minus a rub on the backside of one pipe that you can't see when they are in the bike at all). If anyone's interested I'll let em go for real cheap!

Went and ordered the HD oil cooler yesterday. Now the waiting begins. I've got ABS so I've ordered the one that mounts on the downtube. Hopefully it looks Ok. The dealer actually wanted to sell me a jagg 6 or 10 row. Poor parts guy didn't realize that jags 250 dollar price didn't include the 100 dollar + filter adapter and 60 dollar thermostat. Making HD the cheaper option by a long shot. Hopefully it gets me some cooler temps this summer. Even though my commutes a lot shorter now I'm sure I'll still caught in a bunch of traffic this summer.

It is a little tough to see because it matches the oil tank. From what I have heard, they run just like the Samson's except they run closer to the primary cover. They sit REALLY close to it. As for quality though, I can't compare the two because I don't have any experience with Samsons, but everyone I know that has them absolutely loves them. And they sound great too.

First off I have to say thanks to everyone on this forum, I have had my lo since may and this site has been instrumental in changing my bike. Just got it back after having the big shots, screamin eagle race tuner, and roland sands filter. Bike runs great. Had to wait on those pics until I removed the orange reflectors.
