They look awesome!!!  I am torn between pipes, the Big Radius or the Bassani Pro Streets.  After seeing what yours look like, you may have a twin out there.

Congrats, the bike looks great!

Thanks and I think they really match the bike...the jagged edge of the pinstriping on the tank ties into the  pipe tips...the curve matches the curves of the bike.

Took less than two hours for the actual install...needed to run to the store for a long shank Torx T-50 in the middle.

They sound great and so far do not have any issues with the current Stage II Big Bore  ecm download.

Man, those things look great! [smiley=beerchug.gif]  If only there was a way to attach sound to the photos so we could hear 'em, too!  Too bad we don't have options as trick as those for the SEEGs, huh?

You know...in all honesty...them there pipes look pretty good on the Deuce! They have a sort of feminine/sleek/intense look to them that matches the Deuce. I've seen them on some other models --and they just didn't go as well. In my case...I find the SEII's a bit too loud however. So I surmise that those pipes might be a tad bit...lets say..louder? In addition, NH seems to be cracking down as far as enforcement is concerned on modifying exhaust. I guess three out of the four dealerships in NH no longer will install aftermarket pipes and reflash. I knew there were things in the pipeline as I've posted before. So I'll just live vicariously through you guys for the time being!

This really SUCKS!!!!!!!!!   I first was going to get the BIG RADIUS pipes.   Then the dealer stated that the Bassani Pro Street is the best pipe for my bike, but seeing the Big Radius has know changed my mind again.   Decisions...Decisions

Skull,   I still haven't decided which one to go with yet.   I have only seen the Pro Streets on the Deuce in a picture.   Heard the Pro Street on a sportster sounded good the salesman said the Deuce whould sound deeper and louder.   Have not heard the Big Radius other than on V&H's website.  I'm leaning toward the Pro Street.

These are definately louder than the SEIIs that were on there before.  They actually have some scale-like baffles however.

I've heard the SEII's and the 2barrel SE's.  I personally was not at all impressed by there sound at all.  They didn't seem to be any louder than the stock pipes.

I love the look of the Big Radius but for some reason, there is something about the Pro Streets that keeps making me lean that way also.  The only thing I do not like about the Pro Streets is that the under mounting bracket is very visible and it looks a little cheap.  

There was a bike in American Iron Magazine that had them and every shot I seemed to focus on that dam bracket.

It is a tough decision.  I will post my final outcome pictures.

You're right on about one thing, they have the feminine curves of a fine shapely woman ... I love these thing more every day!

I put 315 miles on them Sunday and the guys I rode with were all green with envy.
