Post your favorite slip ons
#22
A few years ago, I had a street glide with what was refered to as a hippo build, along with V&H head pipes, and python slash cut slip-ons. It's my uderstanding the pythons are made by V&H for Drag. It was one of the best sounding bikes at idle I've ever heard, and sounded great running down the road as well. Sweet little all around package. I believe the sound was the result of the whole package, more than just the pipes.

My favorite is whatever is the cheapest at the time. None of them are proven to outperform the other to any noticeable extent. All these aftermarket weanies are just selling overpriced pieces of steal to wannabes and RUB's that don't know any better. Selling you claims of horsepower and torque gains, 2 or 3 at best, at 5,000 rpm's. Yet the newbies keep bellying up to the bar and forking over their hard earned dollars for what? Bragging rights in a forum? So you can look at yourself in the shopping mall window and listen to your mufflers? So you can rev it up under an overpass and feel the false power? Maybe so you can say you have a stage 1 upgrade in your profile? Look at a few "brand name" mufflers and compare the baffles. You get the same baffle in a $150 dollar set of mufflers that you get in a $300 muffler, for the most part. Or, you spend $400 on a set of mufflers because they look cool. Never could figure that one out either. It comes down to marketing and finding newbies that are willing to part with their money....nothing more. Why do you think these aftermarket folks are also selling you fuel management trinkets? They know there's one born every day and they will capitalize on that to the extremes. Now, if you don't mind lining the pockets of these aftermarket folks, then have at it. It isn't my wallet so I could care less. Like I said, it's all about separating the newbies from their cash.

C'mon. All of us RUB's and wannabes are just contributing to the HD stimulus plan. Besides you have just given me a new idea on how to admire myself, I've never looked at myself in a shopping mall window. I'll have to try it in the morning
