    Pictures are good, but vids rule! That was nice, sounds great, now mount the camera on the bike and spoil us.

    That first link is kinda cool. When you move your cursor along the pic on the left the screen on the right shows a close up, cool!

    Hey Darth, I didn't look too far into the shipping details but I did notice this one line:
    Most single orders ship by USPS. Multiple item orders or heavy packages ship by UPS. We reserve the right to ship by the best method available.
    So, if they decide that two mufflers weighing a total of 8 pounds should go UPS, then you will be bent over and have to take it dry, bcause UPS will nail you with some rediculous "Brokerage" fee.
    I have read on some forums that this "FEE" can go as high as 3 times the value of the item shipped!!!!!
    So contact Amazon and get confirmation of how they will be shipped before closing the deal.

    hey, the mufflers first posted in this thread are the EMGO, but you just posted some Bikers Choice mufflers. I guess the Biker's choice are 1.5 inches longer for the same price, and Amazon.com will actually ship to me for the Biker's choice http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WK ... C5XRRCX4P2

    does your kickstand stick out further than when the factory mufflers were on? I just installed similar looking mufflers, and I guess due to the shape of the mufflers, the kickstand doesn't go as high as it did before. This makes the part of the kick stand with the little ball on the end, stick out about another 3 inches further. I find this looks stupid. If you came across the same thing, I was wondering if you has some solution for it.
