My wife is with you! I think I will postpone drilling holes in anything just yet. By FAR the nicest bike I have ever had. Lots of nice folks here too - thanks for the nice welcome. |

I know there are a bunch of folks that are very happy with V&H baggers sound but on my 2005 Nomad I could not stand to it after 50mph. It was too loud causing a ringing sound in my ears. I debafflled the stock pipes on my 2008 and I am very happy with the result! Sounds mellow with a nice rumble without being loud and the cost of the mod was like $20 against $500.

I like the look, just like mine when I got it.
BTW: What's up the the passenger seat? It looks like it's not bolted down or was move to create more of a back rest. |

I've had a 1500 and 1600. Started with stock, drilled out 1 set didn't care for the sound. Bought tapered cobra's. Didn't like that sound. Went to V/H straight out of the box. Love the sound but thinks Cobra probably has a better product and maybe not quite so load. I learned this through experience not all stock pipes are the same. Some are very difficult to remove the baffles. I ruined two sets and went back to V/H's. My advice keep your stock, pick up a set of used V/H's or Cobra on Ebay. If you dont like em you can always go back to stock. Be safe.

Hey - I have another question. (I am aware of the search feature, but this is height specific).
I am 6'3". Would like to make the handlebars more comfortable. Can anyone of a similar height recommend some good (and hopefully not real expensive) risers? I am not sure how tall I should go, and if I should get pullbacks or not. Thanks |
