Default Bassani Road Rage installed. niiiice.

Pipe showed up yesterday and couldn't wait til today to install it. Took all of about 25 mins to do including unwrapping the new pipe with its 284727 zip ties holding it in. Fit finish and quality is top notch, not a single flaw from what I could tell. Figment was 100% spot on, no jiggling, wiggling, cussing or beating anything with a hammer. I'm super impressed with that part. The sound is killer. Light burble at idle and barks nicely through the revs. Power...well let's face it, its an 883 so power is completely subjective..is there more power than before? Yes. Is it a huge difference? Not so much by my butt-o-meter but again I didn't put many miles on it in stock trim. Sounds good, looks good and fits good and was roughly $300 cheaper than a thunder header. I'm not going back to t headers after this pipe. Big twins and lil twins I own will get these from now on. Btw this is the short upswept can model, the long can looked weird and too bulky for this bike.

Pipe looks good on there. I was all set to get that same one, but went with the patriot instead. What are the details on your bar/riser setup, did you have to extend any of the lines?

8in Biltwell risers, Biltwell Tracker bars. Everything was a direct fit except for the speedo wires. I left it off for now bit I'll be lengthening those wires here shortly.

I installed one of those for a guy once. On the lower models (Iron, Nightster included) I would definitely be worried about it dragging on right hand sweepers. It did have a good sound, with a quiet rumble but wakening up if you got on the throttle.
