Have never been a fan of those but the black looks good.
Looks like you had short shots befor... how do they compare?
The difference is night and day, the Bassani have a deeper more bass sound compared the the V&H shorts, and in my opinion I have a greater throttle response running the Bassani compared to the V&H. I got nothing against the short shots, I think they are a great pipe, I just wanted to go in another direction with my set-up. Everyone and their grandmother is running the short shots, upset the apple cart and go your own way has always worked for me. Besides I tried to do a mod on the V&H ( check out Slackster's ride ) and messed it up horribly!! Even the ole lady said it looked like sh--!!. So I turned a bad situation into one that benefitted me. I was a heartbeat from going with the hooker troublemakers until I heard all the horror stories from members on this and other forums.
