Vance and Hines Cruzers vs Straight Shots - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

cardude720 · 10-11-2008, 02:03 AM

I already have a PC and Tornado intake. I want pipes and the PC already has a map for tornado+cruzers or tornado+straigtshots. Which is better? I like the look of both so I want to know if there is a performance difference.
Thanks

Not going to much of a difference in performance so just buy the ones you think look and if possible to hear them sound the best. Then just imagine you bought the best performing pipes.

I have cruzers, my buddy has straight shots, both sound amazing, i like the the look of the cruzers a lot better, he likes the straight shots becuz they sit lower on the bike, cruzers are easier to install though. Its all preference

cardude720 · 10-11-2008, 02:20 PM

why r they easier to install?

07M50Limited · 10-11-2008, 04:28 PM

I have a custom map from fuelmoto, for them.

cardude720 · 10-11-2008, 06:22 PM

Is fuelmoto another type of fuel processor or will this work on my PC?

I forgot to mention something that has come to my attention lately. And that's guys complaining about there pipes dragging with straight shots or long shots style pipes. It's especially true if you plan on lowering your rear end. One thing that is nice about the V&H Cruzer design is how they don't hang down so low. The bottom pipe actually kicks back UP away from the ground. My bike is lowered 2-1/2" and I never scrap my pipes. Just FYI.

I put a red line on the pic to show the approximate location of the Straightshots in comparison the V&H Cruzers.

Thats correct...I have a custom map for the pipes, and will give it wth the pipes.
It is for the pipes with a hypercharger, but any after market air filter will be the same.

I will see what offers I get, and let you know, I know they were alot of money,
but you should see them, work of art.

tsjohnston · 10-12-2008, 12:40 PM

Has anyone ever looked at the V&H big radius 2 into 1? one of the best looking 2-1 I have seen yet and that 4" bell on the back is way cool. Will it fit?
