Re: What's your opinion on pipes?
Hmmm....opinion on pipes.
Personally I like a Calabash Plum. But, for just generall all around use, I like the Sandblasted Cherrywood. Of course, you should consider the venerable Meerschaum. Ooops. Wrong forum. Sorry guys!

Re: What's your opinion on pipes?
I have the V&H Bigshots Staggered.
I like them alot! Looked at the Rineharts loved the sound, but the extra $100+ I didn't think was worth it!

Re: What's your opinion on pipes?
Most of them sacrifice power/driveability at the altar of looks.Some actually improve the bike when done right.

Re: What's your opinion on pipes?
I dont know if all the blacked out parts are new, or if I just never noticed them before. I would really like to do an all black bike some day: black paint, black pipes, black air cleaner cover, black horn cover, black wheels.... did I mention that my favorite color is black? Maybe combo all the black with a yellow/orange paint job of some sort. I hope I dream about this tonight.

Re: What's your opinion on pipes?
I can finally give an opinion here, after taking my bike in for tires, the guy at the shop took it for a little test run to make sure all was well with the bike. I have V&H on my bike and I thought it may have been a little loud, but I had only heard it while riding it. I got to say, I think it sounded real good, a little loud if you want to, but overall, a deep rumble. I like it!
 I could be obnoxious on it if I wanted, but I do try to respect others, I have also rolled the window up on the truck a couple of times when some really loud bikes have pulled up beside my truck. I don't like the loud pipes that hurt my ears, or the deep bass on car stereos when they are behind me either. |

Re: What's your opinion on pipes?
My personal opinion is that it depends on how you use your bikes. I have two, an '03 UC with SE slant tail duals (stock piping, just the SE slip-ons), and a '91 Dyna with drags. The little bike is just for toolin' around on and I want the bike VERY loud. The pipes on it are straight drag pipes with AR cones at the heads. You can definitely hear her comin'!!
The UC I use to commute to work every day (weather permitting). I have a Sirius radio on that and like listening to 74 - Blues. So the SEs quiet down the engine so I can just hear it, but only as backup to the tunes. Nice. TQ Last edited by TQuentin1 : 06-22-2008 at 08:41 PM. Reason: Boo boo. |
