Hi there - I've got Vance and Hines "Big Shots". As you're just up the road from me I'll let you see and hear them when we go for a midweek run. They're certainly loud enough..... but I'm sure they're legal Officer....:D

Hey aitchdee - Mandy's got the V&H Slip On's on her Sporty R and they sound the business man - been on for two years and no probs. Gonna change my SE's for the V&H's as soon as I can 'cos mine sound burnt-out .................... as they say back home, a real 'kak' sound !!!!
Cheers mate.
Ride Safe & Enjoy

Thanks guys - lot of support for V&H so I went for the V&H straight shot slip ons - being shipped out today so at least the next time I ride out I won't cringe cause my bike sounds like Julian Clarey.
Was tempted with the short shots as i like the look just I'm getting older and the damned hearing is not getting any better and I don't need any more excuses for the wife to call me a deaf bu**er :(

Yes I think you've done the right thing ther aitchdee, I've got V&H slash cuts on mine quiet through town but lovely when you open her up a wee bitty.

I've got the same ones on my Fat Boy and passed MOT no probs, was told by the tester that as long as pipes don't say "NOT FOR ROAD " or "RACE USE ONLY" then they're 100% legal.:cool:

Well Dee no longer sounds like Julian Clarey on prozac

New pipes installed looking and sounding good - must now invest in some AF spanners though - definite shortage in my garage - errrr..... on second thoughts maybe tidying the garage and finding things may help.
