Well! I finally got em on.. - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Well, it took waiting 3 weeks for them on backorder but I finally got my new Cobra Speedster Slashdowns today and got them installed this afternoon.
I'm running a Power Commander3 and K&N High flow air filter with this set up.

Let me just say WoW.. What a change in performance and attitude, it's loud, but I like it. Me and the wife went for a ride on the highway and now people sure do notice us now, we had so many people looking at the bike as we rode. Although I live in a townhouse complex and leave for work at 3:00am so my neighbors are going to love the heck out of me. (I'm only going to idle)
Before on the highway at about 70-75 mph 5th gear was a little high, the engine seemed to bog down a little on a up slope of the highway. now cruising in 5th at 70-75mph feels great with plenty of power on tap.

My only complaint about the pipes is that it was a lot of money for basically just straight pipes and full length heat shields. But then again I love the sound.
