pipes install

Got A New Set Of Bub's Rineharts Incoming But Not Yet Installed On My '04 Cui Full Dresser. Are There Any Additional "requirements" For This Change? I Want To Get It Up And Running Before The Snow Melts.

I hate to sound like a wuss. I purchased the Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes for my 2005 Softail Deluxe. I love the looks of these pipes but I find them to be too loud. Do I have any options to reduce the decibel level?

I appreciate any comments.

Thx.

I am looking into an alarm system for my RK. We plan to travel a good bit this year and I am a little uncomfortable with leaving my ride outside a hotel with nothing other than a fork and iginition lock. Does anyone have any experience with a particular brand or general comments?

Now without any entention to offend anyone here I would like to post something my brother sent me. I personlly LMAO on this on.

So anyway Explicit language but if you are ex-military you might not even notice.

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a set of forward controls for a 99 softail (fat boy). I just got the bike last fall and need the extra leg room (I'm 6'7"). Any help or suggestions/recommendations on styles/brands would be appreciated. Thanks.
