I have 25,000 miles on my cycle shack pipes and they are as good as the day I bought them.

 

I put cycle shack slip ons on my 2013 1200c and wow! Couldn't agree more with what has been said about them for the money you pay. I have about 8500 miles on my bike and have a 160 commute on the interstate 3 days a week.

At 80 mph they level out nicely. I do wear a full face or my bell rogue helmet on the highway so I have noise protection but don't think you need it even when cruising around town.

I have a buddy who had Python Mamba slip ons and those are the only pipes I've heard that sound better than the cycle shack slip ons. The pythons are equally as loud but have a bit of a lower tone which I prefer.

IMO best bang for your buck modification you can make to your bike for under $200.

Make sure you order new gaskets when changing out slip ons just in case the stock gaskets get shredded during removal.

 

I paid $350.00 plus the smaller baffles(1.75") they came with 2" baffles and I'll sell them for $200 plus shipping.

 

Just put them on my iron today! Did you take the baffles out our leave them in? I took mine out and holy hell are they loud!

 

I left mine on. I apologized to the neighbors before I started it up the first time. I can only imagine the sound of these without baffles!

 

Hello
I should be receiving the cycle shacks this week, is there a detailed writeup on installing ?

2013 xl1200c

Est from HD was $90.00

Thanks

 

WWJD? Cycle Shacks or Vance and Hines?

 

Not sure about a detailed write up...they do come with instructions that are pretty straight forward.

Definitely want to use your lubricant of choice to help remove the stock mufflers. I actually loosened the nuts at the flange which have me a little more wiggle room to remove the stock mufflers after loosening the other exhaust clamps.

If you didn't order replacement interconnect gaskets (~$3.50 ea) be careful not to crush those during removal.

The install is much easier than the removal. Don't forget to wipe off all the finger prints and lubricant before firing it up and letting it get too warm.

One of the best mods for the money....let us know how it goes.

 

If you can sharpen a pencil, you'll have no problem installing the Cycle Shacks. My wife has a set on her Street Bob. They sound and look great.

 

Thank you both, very excited
