Default To "Cholo" or not ???

Need opinions here.
Bikes been pretty much the same for 3 riding seasons now, short of changing up the bars.
I really like the look of the 39" Cholo style pipes on other Deluxe's but with having lowered mine 1-1/2" in the back I'm concerned about dragging the tips. I already drag my Rinehart's and floorboards a lot.
Help me make up my mind. Lol
Here's what I'm working with.

My opinion is that your bike looks better with the pipes it has on it now

I say go for it, but black walls on a Deluxe is a no no.

I also like those pipes. My guys told me a lot of burnt legs off the left side of true dual type pipes. Have no real experience though.

mmcbeat, I ride too much to want to spend my time cleaning whitewalls. The gf's got ww's on her Deluxe and they always look dirty to me.

She put V&H true duals on last winter and I like the look but the V&H aren't long enuf for my liking.


Winter lasts 4-6 months here so I have time to wait on parts to change things up I just hate spending money and being unhappy with the results. I don't wanna spend $1500 on an exhaust that I'm bored of in a year.

Aww raggmann I have to agree on the gf bike it looks clean. So how do u scrape? Do you really lean it that much? But I dig your bars & exhaust. That license plate looks killer. How did you do it?

I love the fishtails. Mine are 28 1/2" which to my eye are the perfect length.

I too think your girls bike is better looking. That is something you are going to have to remedy.
