Default Big Radius

I love my Big Radius. I have the Thunder Monster Baffles coming Tuesday. Can't wait to hear how deep these pipes can sound.

My brother in law has them on his 07 RK, and his buddy has them on his 07 Ultra. They look and sound awesome.

One thing to consider if you ride 2 up is that you have to reposition the passenger floorboard on the right side which moves it up a little higher. Both the guys GF's complain about how uncomfortable it is.

I've only seen them on a Street Glide and they looked great.

Man, where were all you guys when I asked this question a few months back? Then everyone was talking about how they just look wrong on a bagger, now you guys are talking about how great they look. I was so close to getting them it isn't even funny.....Actually, I was torn, as mentioned I didn't want to loose the symmetry....at the same time though, they look awesome. The relocation of the passenger board was another big factor for me

Default Floorboard relocator

Yes the pipes do come with a bracket that moves the right rear floorboard up a little. Vance and Hines also offers the left side bracket for $20 which will make the left side match the right side. So if that's what you are concerned with it's an easy fix. They are well worth any minor sacrifices you may make.
There are way more pros than cons with these pipes. I get a lot of attention where ever I go. Especially because there aren't alot of baggers running around with these yet. I'm sure the popularity will spread the more they are seen and heard. I wouldn't switch them out for anything else out there and I've pretty much heard and seen everything.

I am definitely considering a set of those in chrome, found them on the net for $600 shipped. Those look awesome on a bagger! Probaly would need to get the VH fuelpak 61003A as well since my bike has no externally adjustable fuel. (stage 1) Great post.

i'm still here i still don't think they look as good as two pipes out the rear on a bagger.

Here's mine. Hope the pic comes through. Love the sound and get lots of compliments. Like others here said I think it really makes it look like a hotrod. The bracket relocation may be an issue for the passenger. For long trips I bought Kury adjustable offsets, but for short hops the wife doesn't really complain.
