RE: V&H big radius exhaust
Right now American Iron has a special edition on the newstands with many great articles from Donny Peterson, including several on exhaust and what makes it work. Putting on pipes larger than 1 3/4" will be detrimental to your performance on stock Harley engines, according to him. This article was written in March 2005, and he does use 95 cubic inches as kind of a break even point on exhaust diameter. Build an engine bigger than that, and exhaust should also be larger diameter.
He is also 100% against True Duals. His exact quote is: "In my humble opinion, I must ask how it is possible that they can cause an increase in horsepower."
It's a $5 mag, but well worth the money. It's called Great Weekend Projects.

Those things (Big Radius) look horrible on a bagger IMO. If you have a classy looking dresser, why try to make it look like a softail? Get something nice to compliment the bike. There are so many systems out there that are probably better quality with better performance and sound. I am not saying be like everyone else and don't get something unique, but still... better options exist.

You might want to check out the T-Rex true duals. Those are bigger than most out there (3" I think) and look really clean. I belive you will get better performance out of a slip-on with your stock header pipes though. I was told that in the regular RPM range there is improved throttle response and torque. Only at the top end (ie wide open) do the true duals out perform. I can't say whether that is true though. Personally I don't care about performance, but that is just me. Look at dragspecialties.com or jpcycles.com for a wide range of exhaust options with some pictures. Might help you pick something out. Find the look you want first then narrow it down from there based on sound and performance. JMO. You have a great bike there, take your time to make it even better!
