Default Danmoto Highwayman review

Thinking of a new pipe and this one seems too cheap to be true
Is it cheap or inexpensive?

Not too bad on the Hammer Performance dyno tests but their comments on quality are a bit harsh. A big dip in torque with the baffle installed, but without baffle is seems decent

Looks a bit low, but my shocks are 13.5". Any comments about clearance from those that have one

That link answers my question and cheap seems to be the correct term.
Thanks for all the work on this and back on the pipe hunting trail

Since the well performing baseline pipe, Patriot Defender is NLA, any comments on the other Freedom pipes
I currently have leafblowers that come with the bike, and I do not care for the look, and wonder on the performance

I do however like the look of this Freedom pipe, but does it perform?

Looks like I wrong in that Freedom made your baseline Patriot Defender pipe?
In any case I do not see a Sportster model

Back once again for the hunt for a Sportster performance pipe.

I see Danmoto has a new high mount pipe?
Wonder if it is cheap?

Might be a leg roaster?
