Would it be most peoples opinions that Samson are the better option rather than V&H

I plan to get some in the next couple of months so really would like some opinions as to which way to go

Cheers

Default duals

With the Duals, and having 2up, any heat issues for the passenger on the leftside?

I'm 5'4" and when I stop I just lift my left heel a little and the pipes are not a problem. I can still be flat footed if I want and I will get warm but not fried.

I totally agree with you Joe. I already had that problem twice. I had single wall duals from one shitty brand on it when i bought the bike. I changed the yesterday for Big Shots Staggered. It also changed my seating position, because i have now more room for my left calf. Also keep in mind that when you have duals it is harder too fined bags that will fit.

Wow I disagree with this statement.

With duals you can run any bag you want and do not have to worry about them being to big. This is why guys who want to run roadking or ultra bags on softails go with duals. The only bag that may be an issue is a solo bag built for the left side but with some of the smart cookies on this forum they have already built jigs to address this issue.

"Pipe Tattoos"...the old skool way. LOL Pipe burns are a unique kind of pain, but it will become Pavlovian for the leg "finding it's place". The ol' brain will fix the issue in no time. If you wear shorts when you ride...you reap what you sow. Just my 20¢
