Vance and Hines Big Radius 2-1...Ready to buy...where??

[albertg]

Hi All,

I am planning to install V&H Big Radius 2-1 on my 2010 Raider soon. Anyone purchase them lately?
Can anyone recommend a vendor? Looking for a good price for the BR 2-1...

I read that the Yamaha crush gaskets are good. Is this a dealer-only item? Any other brands of crush gaskets recommended?

Thanks all...
Regards

They have a "find a dealer" link.

I seem to recall ordering mine through my dealership. Man, it sucks when the memory goes to crap. I was just getting started in my aftermarket parts shopping spree.

I bought the gaskets at my Yamaha dealer, I think. Maybe I did order them with the pipes. Crap, DJ's right. It sucks when you can't rememer stuff.

You know they say your memory is the second thing to go.

Check E-bay. They seem to be going for about 650$ and 130$ shipping. Personally I like prefer the 2 + 2 's (better sound IMHO - more mellow and a bit less harsh) but "chacun a son gout". Here is an example http://www.ebay.ca/itm/VANCE-HINES-B...item5ae72f7ee5 Good luck.

Dennis Kirk had the best price I've seen so far.

The crush gaskets - I would say if they look good, reuse them. I've had my LA Chopper Pipes off a few times and reused the gaskets, most recently last night.

I figure it this way, with aftermarket pipes, esp like I have now, it is only takes a few minutes to pull a pipe off and replace a gasket.

I'm looking to go to a quieter pipe though so I've been looking at the BR 2-1.
