I had the Ovals and they sounded awesome around town, butthe highway sound was just freaking annoying after 20 minutes. Iordered Bub 7'safter hearing them a couple of weeks ago. Just need to find the time to install these beauties.

Here is a nice article on the Bub 7's.

Sorry for tuning in so late. I'm in the same situation and love the look of the Bub 7s.
There are a couple of sound clips on Bub's website. No clip for the 2:1s though.

Try here. http://bub.com/Motorcycles/Harley/FL...1/05-7001.html

I was one of the first to go with the 7's when they were released. I am extremely happy with the fit and the sound. I would highly reccommend..........

I'd go with the bubs. Nice pipes, and that's coming from a 2 into 1 guy so no bias here.

Well gentlemen I went with the BUB's. I kept going back and forth between sound clips of the VH's and the #7. The BUB's were a little deeper and more throaty. I liked that. Thank you for all of your input!

Comparing Bub to Rinehart - I have been told Rinehart on the left side (Primary side) does not fit close and there is a problem with passenger foot peg not folding up all the way - Did Bub 7 correct this problem?

You were told correctly re: fitment of Rhineharts on left side because Iwitnessed it w/ my own eyes on buddy's 04 RK Custom.
Don't know if Bub 7 corrected problem or not.
