I haven't seen any pics of the 09 with big radius posted yet....

I think that the pipe is just too common... I know that its a nice looking, performing and sounding pipe, but I just don't want to put it on my 09 because I want something different....

I've been looking at Supertrapp, Reinhart, and D&D just because I want something a little different.....

They may be common in your neck of the woods, but not mine. I had the whole store (including employees) in service looking at my bike when I picked it up last week after getting the V&H 2-2 big radius installed. I think they look great on the springer and sound awesome. Even the service reps were amazed at how they looked and sounded. That's my two cents. Of course I'm now a little biased.  :2vrolijk_21:

as long as you're happy with them, that's all that matters!
I remember when I first saw them on a used '05 Deuce in my HD dealership when I bought my '06 Deuce, I thought they looked like the coolest pipes I have ever seen....
That was over two years ago, and this past summer I think I have seen those pipes on half the bikes I saw riding around! :bananarock:

I agree, I see those things on every bike on the dam road...
and if its not the 2 into 2 its the 2 into 1.... I think they look great, but I like the individuality.....

I want a 2 into 1 pipe myself for performance reasons, I still kickin around a couple diff pipes...

any suggestions would be welcome....

They may be common,but they still look the best,along with the Rienhart Cross Backs.Not a fan of the 2 into 1.It may be better performance,but I'm willing to give up a couple hp for looks.Besides,if I wanted performance,I wouldn't have sold my Kawi ZX 12. It's all personal opinion,I'm just throwing out mine. Check them all out and go with what you like.I couldn't decide either,but my Harley shop talked me into the BR pipes.So far I'm glad they did,although I like the Cross Backs equally as well.

They are interesting and minimalist, but the stock system still displays the engine and transmission beautifully. I like stock, some like crossbacks, and some like big radius. Costs me nothing to stay with what I like best:  stock.

I think you should reconsider that decision...
Stock has some problems....

Haven't had a single problem with my stock pipes—been riding my '07 for two years. Did something problematic happen to the 09 pipes that I haven't heard about?

I tend too agree with Air-cooled, I kept my stock pipes and solved the "problems" with BCT QQ baffles for SE pipes. With some small mods they fit the 07 pipes.
