V&H Big Radius on FLHX Review.
#31
Just like to say that Jagerbomb rocks!
Called him up, made a deal.....now I gots me a set of Big Radius as well!
Exactly the look and sound I want.
Thanks, man!
Only problem was I saw that he said they were off his 09 SG, but I forgot about the little fact that 2010 have different sized O2 sensors.
But then I suddenly remember that I have the PC-V, so probably didn't even need the O2 sensors.....and sure enough, they weren't even plugged in.
AND, I happened to have a spare O2 sensor and bolt that came with the wideband kit for my GT-R. (and I'm sure I can find another bolt eventually to replace the somewhat expensive wideband sensor that's just sitting there doing nothing).
So, once I finished wasting about 30 minutes remembering and then finding all that, I was good to go!
Here's a crappy phone-camera picture (I really need to buy a new camera). I'll get a better one tomorrow:

As my wife said when she came out: "Wow. I wasn't too impressed just looking at them or the pictures online, but now that they're on.......they're totally aggressive looking and just so totally you."
I'm content now...between the 10" monkeybars and these pipes, the bike now finally feels 100% "mine".
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going for a test ride.
EDIT: *short* test ride...damn, it was cold last night!

Couple of better pics:
.
Met up with Mr. Jagerbomb today and had a nice fast run back down the River Road.
My review, after a good long (medium) ride?
Love 'em!
I obviously need a new tuning map for my PC-V, but it runs hard and strong (if a bit lean).
The wife, who as I said didn't like them at first, even looking at pics of them on other black SGs, says they are a perfect fit, visually, for me and the bike.
But the big question I know everyone has is: Are they loud & obnoxious? Yes....yes, they are!
Between the look and sound of the pipes, the Monkeybars, the blacked out drivetrain, and my "38 year old teenager" attitude, I'm now proof that just because it's a Touring bike, doesn't mean it's going to be nicer or politer than any other Harley.
