and relocating the turn signals to it as well. Hoist!


That seems a worthy consideration.  Everyone's tastes are different of course.  But I always thought having the signals on the bars of a big bike looked silly.

Thanks a lot d00d. I'll check these out. Anyone have anything to say about these? Any others? What's the best performing TD headpipes for stock (for the next 2 years) and for future performance as well? Am I asking too much from these exhaust mfrs.? Or from you guys?  I'm thinking it's a good time to hear from Harry here too.  8-)  Hoist!


Never done the Bassani (I always thought the loop looked goofy and it defeated the purpose of opening up the view of the right side of the bike).  Samson was the common option before V&H released theirs a few years ago.  So have used two or three sets of them.  They were always ok too.  Only problem was one set was real thin around where the support bracket was welded on.  Ground it off and welded it back up a bit before installation and just used an L bracket and a hose clamp like the V&H's do.

I'd not get too worked up over lack of sensor bungs though.  The bungs themselves are cheap and it's no big deal to put them on and, thereby, know you have them just where you want them.  If there's not a stick or mig welder at home than cut the hole with a hole saw, do a little body and fender work to smooth down the mounting surface for the bung, and take them to any muffler shop.  It's a nothing job for them that they'll likely do for a sawbuck or less in about ten minutes time.

Hey Don. I agree with both posts. When are you welding bungs on the old V&H TD's for me? Re the light bar, I don't have a lot of use for the passing lamps, but they look good surrounding that behemoth headlight nacelle. And relocating the turn signals is an added bonus. Boy do I dislike them on the handlebars. Hoist!


If you'd said before I'd missed it.  But if adding front lights which option will you go with.  Even there are issues with using them I really like the same brackets/arms that the CVO Glides have used.  They look good on a Road King, the look still helps blending the big nacelle in to the front of the bike and you avoid the ugly clunky looking light bar.  They look like this on a Road King:

Well, that may be true, but it adds a great deal of safety if you ride at night.....much larger pattern of light..........just get two bikes behind you w/ the diff. light pattern and notice the rather large disparity.

I'm not fighting you guys on this one. I've had 3 RK's and 1 EG since '95 and they all had them. I'm definitely used to having them. I'm probably [highlight]gonna have the dealer put them on prior to delivery and GET A 2 YEAR WARRANTY TOO[/highlight]! 8-) Hoist!
