Default Thinking of these custom pipes for my Iron, what do you think?

They look super hot on this bike, hardtail and all. I think that they look great of course but I'm having a hard time seeing them on the Iron.

I don't know how they would sound, other than loud.

I'm going with either a custom set of pipes or the V&H Big Radius.

I emailed Tyler at Sik Pipes and he can make them, especially since he made the pipes in the picture I posted.
But I wonder if they would need some additional supports.

No idea what brand, but I've seen very similar pipes on an iron. They really give it a truly custom look.

yeah you'll need something to hang the rear of the pipes on. not a deal breaker though. i'm gonna have to come up with the same thing when i put my new pipes on. if you don't they'll twist loose so you'll really have to stay on top of tightening them down every once in a while, a little birdie (mike reed) told me that.

Thanks bmxatv, that is what I was thinking. I have an email out to Tyler to see what he says. He may pre-install something they would mount with.

And what pipes did you end up going with? Crazy Orange, I assume?

Supertrapp Yaffe X-pipes are similar to those but they are spaced apart a little. They sound good and look sharp. I had them on my last Iron I got rid of a year ago.

Saw that bike at born free this year, looks even better in person! Chemical Candy did an amazing job on that tank
