... and having the exposed baffle screws visible from every angle .....

Aside from Don's fascination with dirty underwear....I sort of went round and round with the looks issue myself.  It is just the end cap that I waffled over.  I saved the pictures off that they sent me and supersized them to get a closer look.  That's when I went full circle and decided they would look ok after all.  I imagine it is one of those products where you have to see it first hand to fully appreciate.  Sort of like the bikes we own...looking at pictures don't do any of 'em justice.

That's completely true.  Lots of first impressions have been reversed when something actually was finally seen in application on the street.  Hopefully these would look great hanging in the wild.  Good luck to all you brave souls looking to hang these bloomers on your bike  .

It's Hillary's ankles, Man....

The pipes are interesting...I don't mind the shape of the mufflers themselves so much, but I'll have to say those double Gecko eyes don't do a thing for me.  A hole maintaining the trapezoidal look would have worked better.

That was my first thought when I saw the first image Terry.  Would (to me) be a much better look if the outside shape/contour had been continued to the inside.  Still ugly; but better.  As is I expect that guy with the German helmet on Laugh In to keep looking up from behind his binoculars.

... and having the exposed baffle screws visible from every angle .....

Umm, Chief?  Just want to make sure.  But are you talking about the mufflers here or Hillary?

[Hoist!]

Stop hating the looks so much everyone. You're making me want them even more! I'm not waiting for them though. I'll be putting on the V&H TDs/SPOs this week. Next winter work will be cams and then maybe TMax AT and this exhaust system too! Man it sure is fun not worrying about w.....ty! Hoist!

Hey Howie, when you make the second generation change to the Thundermax you're going to get Zipper's fancy Road King speedometer too aren't you?  You know, the one that lets you control and change AFR from the seat while going down the road?  And you're waiting how long to do this?

[ak]

I didn,t like them when I first saw them, but after a few more looks they started to grow on me. For me having mellow pipes on slow cruz and the giddie-up when you get on it, Is what I,m after. They will be going on my ORANGE/BLACK 04 SEEG . As I told Ernie "if your a dog be a hairy dog" And when I find ORANGE CHAPS with fringes no one will notice the pipes-AK

I saw the speedo and it does a lot of slick stuff. ( http://www.zippersperformance.com/catalogue/showproduct.asp?cat=583&prod=2098 ). I didn't see anything about an adjustable AFR control built into it, and specifically for the TMax?

Uhhh....changes for next winter!

Hoist!

LOL...jeffj

Only comment I can make on these pipes is.. Everything isn't for everybody and from the looks these don't do it for me. I am interested in seeing what the gains will be, and hearing a set of them. There would have to be significant gains to make me want to get these, and then I'm not sure I would give up my Rinehart's.

I'm with you d00d. I can't tell you how disappointed I was when I saw those photos. When Brad told me "They're not like anything else on the market today." I was hoping that was going to be a good thing.

Are you saying they are 

Or just

But definitely not ?

[ESJ JESTER]

Im  glad i dont have to say  cause i wouldnt be saying much good about the looks.  funky is at least acceptable but  honda parts on a harley  dosnt look to eagle-like

I am a very happy and loyal customer of Freedom Cycles of Reno, NV
At the moment I am not looking on making any additional changes to my 06 CUSE
However, if I was I would still probably go back with Brad @ Freedom Cycles as I am so thankful for their Awesome customer service.
If the MoCo comes out with a 2008 SERG - mine will be shipped to Reno for Brad to work his magic and then on to hd-dude's for all the other bling

For the record I am not overly thrilled with the look of the new Freedom muffler but like many things looks can be deceiving

Aren't they going to sell these as a package thru drag speciaties?  Under the Yuill Bros name not freedom cycle.
