« on: December 22, 2011, 06:38:28 AM »
All, I am going to pull the trigger on a Vance & Hines CSOne in Black...was looking through the Internet and found a site called Biker Trends...web site link below.

The price looks good at $424.95.  What do you all think?

Thanks it looks like they only have the stainless and I prefer the Black.  Will call them though.  Thanks.  Will be calling Biker Trends as well.

I'm partial to my Leo Vince Carbon. Costs a little more, but comes with the dB insert so you won't have to pay extra for that (I do have mine installed).

I believe there may be some people out there that have had minor issues with the aluminum tip on the V&H, but I have no personal experience with them. I almost bought one because of how they look, but they were all on backorder at the time. I consider myself lucky since I like the LV so much.

Can you post a pic of it on your bike from the side?

I think there are plenty of other pics posted on the site, some of them mine, but try these two. One of these shows the LV side-by-side with the stock exhaust. (I know I have some better pics somewhere, but ...) Just try doing a search on the site for "Leo Vince".
