    I'm still happy with the V&H ShortShots on my '09 Low Rider, but I haven't fully Stage 1'd the thing yet, so the only thing I'm missing from your vid is DECEL POP hahah. People think a turf-war is flaring up when I roll off the throttle. I plan to get air & tune by next year. Then I start saving up for bars & grips. Little by little it's getting to be a great bike! It may be vintage by the time I finish, but it's good to have a little delayed gratification in life. (not to mention it feels great to live debt free!!!)

Why not go all the way and put the mic in the damn pipe?!? Video after video it's same same... hundreds of different people doing the same thing... some mics are good enough to deal, but not most. And this vid is a PERFECT example... sometimes he stands up bringing the mic up to ear level and they haven't shut the bike off yet and for a sec or two it sounds MUCH better.

      I believe it's a harley sportster bikini fairing. Fitted to a low rider using bung king brackets.
