Default looking for a specific style exhaust

I am looking for a specific style exhaust to go on a 2006 883L.

I really want the look of the Vance & Hines Big Radius but those arent made for sportys are they?



But I want good quality, good sound (not annoyingly loud) and a good heat shield like V& H offers so they wont blue.


I found the Wet Dreamz exhaust, but I am suspect of their quality because of the low price......anyone have experience with these?



basically, I want an exhaust that looks like that, but from a company that I know has good quality
If V&H would just make the Big Radius for the sporty, I'd be set.

The Bassani sweepers are very similar - and I know a couple who are running them on 04+ Sportys and are happy with them One suggestion they had - definitely get the heat shields (for protection and to cover bluing).

Heard great stuff about the Bassani Street Sweepers, good company and pipes...

Do you like th SideShot style? It is similiar, more 'hard' looking and from Vance and Hines... think theres a pic in my sig...

They are great loud pipes and I have been completely happy with them.

No matter what you buy, save a $100 or so and try to get a good ebay vendor... I got my SideShots for $430.

thanks for the info on the sweepers....I like those


I'm not much on the sideshots, I like the big swooping curve.


will I have any issues with backpressure loss if I go with the sweepers?

I think I heard the Wet Dreamz are made by V-Twin, and there've been issues with cheap imported parts.

Consider this just gossip, verify it, but I believe it to be true.
