Yea, that's what I was saying. I saw them on J&P first, then went to their site and LOL'd at J&P for chaging over $400 more.
I'm def. getting these. I just need to pay the bike off first. Haha. I'm gonna be going for the "Bobber-ish" look. These should do nicely.
I just saw that I'd need foreward controls.

I know people say "everyone has them". But, there is a reason everyone has them!

I certainly like the looks of the Troublemakers. I have read about the poor quality but maybe they have fixed the problem.
I know this is a tough question to answer but, can you describe the difference in sound between the Rush 2" and the Troublemakers? I need to wear ear plugs with my pipes.
For the price, it really isn't much of a gamble.
Maybe after a few miles you can give us an update.
Thanks

I kind of wondered the same thing, but, when I look at the mounting block and pictures of others, this is just the way they are.

Ok, I finally did it and bought a set of Hooker Troublemakers for the Nightster. Chase down the big brown truck (literally stocked him) at lunch time, started disassembling. Came home from work and I started assembling with the help of my brother. And I must admit, they were very easy to install. It does work better with two people though. I really nervous since I have heard so many bad stories about them. I thought they were made very well. Maybe, they improved them over time, but, mine fit and look awesome. Reprogrammed the Vance and Hines fuelpak, and decided to go for a small ride. These things sound wickid. And I have the baffles still in! I don't think they sound overly loud, but, louder than my Rush slip ons. Man, I can't wait to get on a nice dry road and open her up a little bit and let her sing. I think it's the best 188 bucks that I've spent in a long time.
Thanks
