[smiley=pepper.gif]Well I did it!  Enough with the over analyzing every possible aspect and scenario.  I finally threw up my hands and decided to order the Rinehart slip-ons.  If, in the summer time I decide I need to run TD's to keep from burning my butt off, then I'll add the V&H TDs.

The slip-ons should be here Wednesday and if I'm finally over the flu by then will have them on my SERK by Wednesday evening.  I'll take a picture and even see if I can record a sound bite and attach it.

Okay, now that it's a done deal, [highlight]it's time for everyone to start coming out of the woodwork telling me "what I should have done instead[/highlight]".

By the way, I bought them at Cycle Spot at 20% off, no tax, & free shipping if anyone is interested. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

RBM, you know what you should have done? Exactly what you did. You can't pick the wrong ones if you like them and the way they sound! ;) Hoist!

What was the total co$t??

The list price is the same as everywhere else, $524.95 but, if you register on their website and order them on line they are $419.41.  Registration is free, anything over $250 is shipped free and unless you live in AZ, it will likely be tax free.

rbmntx,

Hey congrats on the decision. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  We will definitely need to hook up as I would love to hear what they (slip ons) sound like.  May be the way I end up going as well.

Hope you are getting over the flu.  It's going around these here parts very aggressively.

Thanx CBMan.  I see where you are considering V & H.  If you get them we'll have to hook up to compare the two.  

As for getting over the flu..., it's slow but I'm making progress.  I took my girlfriend to the airport this morning and even though it's 48 degrees outside I was seeing all kinds of bikes out.  Made me real jeolous.  I was going to try to take a quick ride but decided that with the dizziness I'm still having from my inner ear problems, it wouldn't be a good idea.  Maybe tomorrow.  (sigh)

The guy in the brown truck brought my RH slip ons yesterday afternoon.  Naturally, I had to put them on last night.  First impression is they look damn good.  Really good chrome and the black tips really stand out on the Black Ice SERK.

I haven't ridden it yet but, keeping in mind that I was in the garage with the door closed, I cranked it up and HOLY CRAP those puppies are loud..., but nice and deep.  I'm sure some of it was echoing off the garage walls but they seem to be a lot louder than my old Screamin' Eagle one piece slip ons.  I think I would equate the sound to Thunderheaders.  I'm going to try to take it out at least for a ride around the block before the nasty weather hits here this weekend.  Pictures to follow.

rbmntx,

Congrats on the RH's [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]  You definitely need to post a pic or two so I can check it out.  How 'bout a video with some sound [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

Looks like our DFW weather is going to get real crappy for the next 4-5 days.  I'll be in Japan so I get to miss it ;D

Are you considering joining the Hot Springs Rally?  We could cruise up together if you decide to go.

Glad you're happy with the RH's...it's that 110 that's making it hit such a hard lick at idle   [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]  At cruising speeds, they're not bad, but when you twist, they'll talk to you...let us know what you think after you take the ride!!

 [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif] A guy just can't catch a break.  I'd love to get out for a ride to see how I like the RH's but the weather just won't cooperate.  Now we have an ice storm forecast through Monday.  Sheesh!

Dood, Saw Dennis Manning and his speed rocket there. Nice guy, he was mobbed and taking the time to chat to everyone he could. HD had a big show area big about a dozen bikes including a orange/black ice SEUC and a cobalt blue SERK(it was definitely the bike everyone wanted to sit on). DC Cruisers had some friendly biker beauties hanging around working the tip jar! [smiley=drink.gif]
