Tried them on the 2KRK during our testing. Loved the sound and tone is got a rumble to it. The early one's did have baffle problems but, it was fixed last year. We have sold a ton of them and the feed back is probably 99% favorable.

I have them on a '04 Road Glide, and love them. Good look, great sound and performance, and still look very nice after 32k miles.

V&H Ovals

I put these on my 05 Electra Glide Jan this year with a big sucker from DP -- I love'm ~~ love'm ~~ love'm. I've put 15k miles on the bike since and they look as good today as when I pulled them out of the box and sound GREAT. Nice deep rumble, not to loud but plenty loud enough. If you want loud take the baffles out but I'd recommend you start out with them in. You will love the ovals deep rumble and a nice power boost with the increased intake -- did I mention, I love'm

I have the Ovals and the V&H True Duals (purchased from DP) and am very happy with them. The Duals really make the bike look and sound great. There is the added benefit of removing the cross-over bike and the associated heat on your right thigh.

Remove the screws and pull....carbon and the intentional tight fit makes it tough. Now, for the asked question? How will sound and perform? Answer, like crap X 2.
