I can't really remember. I don't think I recall anything being *wrong* with the bike power post-install - however I *think* I brought it to a bike shop to have the jet adjusted afterwards as a 'just in case' to make sure it was running in tip top shape.
I have the Cobra slash cut pipes on mine and they were still plenty loud even with the baffles in. I took the baffles out and wrapped them with muffler insulation to take out the bark and harsh wrap sound. now it's more mellow and tolerable.
They are not that loud,they just sound perfectly awesome! No popping and cracking,,just perfect! My 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 sounds the same way! My 2003 Harley Sportster 1200 with gooseneck pipes sounds almost identical just a little better!😎☠️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Damn nice. Getting another bike this summer. Between Harley, Victory and now how the oversee's bike are being designed, its really gonna be a tuff call. Never thought I'd say that. Always loved the Harley name and design. But, designs are becoming really good from all angles these days. The name "Harley" just might be loosing ground!
I have the same motorcycle and had the same pipes put on at the HONDA dealer first they said it had a flat spot when you gave it gas with the jets Cobra said to use, so they changed them again and now its so lean it bangs so loud its sounds like it going to blow the heads off, did you change your jets if so to what? Thanks Greg
I own same bike color too so dang nice cobra street longs on it and custum end caps chrome all around front back top bottomfront fork rear fork all chrome alloy rims used alloy cleaner polished them rims to a nasty bad ass chrome shine I was amazed I would love to send pics to you somehow and ultimate seat as well single person back seat backrest took off putchrome luggage rack not a regular one this is real nice and chromed out taillight bike been lowered 2 inches white wall
Is fuel injection? If not, for your straight pipes what have you done to compencate. Like let more air to go true and rejeting the carb. Otherwise you don'r gain power, you may even loose some. If there are no restriction you need to modify the rest.
Did u take baffles out the pipes love the bike have same one same pipes and chromed out front to back white wall tires led lights red would love to send pics too you
I did not take the baffles out of the Cobras. They are however they came out of the box. I originally drilled holes in stock baffles after researching other people's comments about it making them sound better. But, it really wasn't very different and getting the Cobras was the only way to go.
Nice bike. I got the same exact setup. Pipes and grips. I have an 06 in candy black cherry. I think its the best looking cruiser out there especialy with the solo seat just like mine. Good tase!!
I think I might have had someone do it when I had it in for new tires. If I recall I didn't do it for awhile though and saw no difference. I vaguely remember the internet saying "you should do it" but I swear it ran fine without it.
you prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new movies on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf for the last months =)
@@Wolfman140 i wanted one as a first bike when i was younger i was deadset on making it look like this, till i realised max cc for an learner is like 525
No more bike videos from me...not for a long time, anyway. This bike had since gone down on a highway, I face planted and broke some stuff, I rebuilt the bike (it was all asthetic damage) and have since sold it. I now have a daughter so....riding bikes might be out of the future for awhile. Race car driving on the other hand, is much safer :)
+Kevin Petronis But PS - yeah this Honda VTX never ever gave me any troubles pre or post accident. It sounded fantastic with those pipes (as I'm sure many bikes would) and in my opinion looked fantastic too.
Bumper to bumper traffic going 80 mph on a 100 degree day down a hill. I checked my blindspot for a second to move over for merging traffic. When I looked forward again the car in front was hitting brakes hard (which is common on stupid overcrowded Connecticut highway)...I hit my brakes hard but the bike locked up went into a slide...at least I think it did. I don't remember because that was the 1 day in my life I didn't wear a helmet (because it was so damn hot out). So...some broken bones/ribs and cracked skull - but here I stand mostly perfectly fine. Luckily I didn't hit anyone and no one hit me. So in retrospect: (1) Always wear a helmet, no matter the conditions (2) Even if *everyone* in both lanes is going 80MPH in bumper to bumper traffic - go slower than everyone else and allow more space in front even if it pisses people off - they have seatbelts and 4 tires whereas you do not (3) Don't waste your time with cheaper, not-so-sticky tires; spend the money on performance tires that are stickier.
I really dont like the way the rear mudguard extends so far off of the back of the bike but in this colour which i really like, i can overlook my dislike. I also love the sound.
Gorgeous bike and the pipes sound bad ass! You're a very funny dude too! Here's my 2012 Roadstar 1700 with Cobra Slash Cut Slip-ons, Baron Big Air Kit and baron's AIS removal. th-cam.com/video/2G2tooHb05Q/w-d-xo.html. Thinking of getting the Cobra Speedster Longs like yours!!! My slip-ons have a little bit of blatty sound, but overall still sound good and loud.
Whoopin' and a-hollerin' - love it!
Really like that sound and very nice bike I will be buying those pipes!
Did you have to re-jet carb or do anything to bike, when you installed those pipes?? About to buy some so curious if I need anything else. Thanks

You must be bored

Now that sounds GOOOOOD!
Well I have a Honda VTX 1300 and I love the Vance & Hines pipes
Sounds really good. Just installed same set last night.

What did they change to?
@@JohnJDoe sorry I dont remember had a few things done that at the time I didnt have time to do.
Wear any leather chaps or Levi’s jeans in particular?
this is my favorite exhaust video. not for the bike [even though it is nice] but for how i laugh every time at 0:50
That's a vtx 1300 S. The 1300 R uses mag wheels wjereas the 1300 S uses spokes.
Unless thay swap em out
A Whoopin' and A Hollerin'!

Anymore bike videos coming?? Wear any levis jeans or leather chaps with the bike for protection??
Okay, that is beautiful and a beautiful bike. New just put a Denali Soundbomb on it and you're rollin.
I have those on my 2004 C. LOVE them!!
Sounds good
with a Blazing Saddles reference, you have my attention....

This goes back to ancient memory, but I believe after I installed pipes I brought it to a bike shop for carb rejetting.
What pipes were those?
I have to have a set of these. Sounds great.
Did u take baffles out the pipes love the bike have same one same pipes and chromed out front to back white wall tires led lights red would love to send pics too you
I did not take the baffles out of the Cobras. They are however they came out of the box.
I originally drilled holes in stock baffles after researching other people's comments about it making them sound better. But, it really wasn't very different and getting the Cobras was the only way to go.
Sounds almost like the Vance & Hines Big Shots.
You still have this bike?
What kind of handles are those? They look different than the stock ones I got. Thanks for the video!
Those were chrome Kuryakyn grips /w Kuryakyn 'stilletto' end caps on the grips.
Cool, thanks!
Got the same on my VTX. I always install those when I buy a new bike
@@chauffeurmarco where u buy them from and how much for the set?
It's the number 6 dance.
Baffles on or off ?
Nice bike. I got the same exact setup. Pipes and grips. I have an 06 in candy black cherry. I think its the best looking cruiser out there especialy with the solo seat just like mine. Good tase!!
Do you have to rejet the carb with those?
I think I might have had someone do it when I had it in for new tires. If I recall I didn't do it for awhile though and saw no difference. I vaguely remember the internet saying "you should do it" but I swear it ran fine without it.
Which is louder, these or big shots?
I never thought these pipes were really loud. I didn't want loud, I just wanted a nice sound. They fit the bill perfectly.
@@Wolfman140 so you never took out the baffles?
@@scottg429 I honestly can't remember... It was too long ago.
sorry to read about what happened glad your ok p.s. bike did sound awesome
Ive been riding a honder cbr 600 4 years and thinking about changing to a cruiser like this one.
You won't regret. VTX a them good bike. If you did not made your mind since
Beautiful looking bike!!

@@Wolfman140 i wanted one as a first bike when i was younger i was deadset on making it look like this, till i realised max cc for an learner is like 525
Sounds great
sound is a bomb
sounds fanfuckingtastic
That sounds good. Who ever said those things sound like lawn mowers?
Low IQ Harley Davidson riders
The Cobras always sound poppy to me, not throaty. It’s all personal preference though.
Are we hearing these with the Stock Baffles ?? I would imagine so......
Sexy looking vtx, add a supercharger to add abit of spice!
@73FIREful I have no idea I hated them too so I have since put on aftermarkets.
exelentttttttttt

Kevin Petronis yap. I have a VTX 1300s and it is a problem free bike. There is nothing to say about this one.
Sorry to hear it. What happened?
Bumper to bumper traffic going 80 mph on a 100 degree day down a hill. I checked my blindspot for a second to move over for merging traffic. When I looked forward again the car in front was hitting brakes hard (which is common on stupid overcrowded Connecticut highway)...I hit my brakes hard but the bike locked up went into a slide...at least I think it did.

(1) Always wear a helmet, no matter the conditions
(2) Even if *everyone* in both lanes is going 80MPH in bumper to bumper traffic - go slower than everyone else and allow more space in front even if it pisses people off - they have seatbelts and 4 tires whereas you do not
(3) Don't waste your time with cheaper, not-so-sticky tires; spend the money on performance tires that are stickier.
Ouch! I'm sorry to hear it but glad you are OK. Always wear a helmet :p
