Georgia, west of Atlanta | If any member has a set of CFR's ( In good shape ) they dont want, let me know I'll either buy them out right or a possible trade with some boot on my end. I have a set of S1L2's with 500 miles on them and they are back in the boxes and I also have a set of Thunderheaders with about 1500 miles on them......Thank you for any responses............steve |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | A tiny bit too loud for me. Performance is very good for a bike with just Top filter, PC-V and slipons. |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | I guess I should explain on the sound. The Thunderheaders are quite a bit louder than the S1L2's and just a little bit louder than the CFR's. That being said, the S1L2's are not much louder than stock pipes at idle but do sound off a little when the gas is being put to it. For stereo lovers the S1L2's are a good pipe........... |

| XRsteve... you are right in looking for the CFR' they are a great performance muffler without the irritating, thunderous, booming, noise. I've got 11,000 miles on mine and don't plan on changing any time soon. |

Yes so true, that's why I'm looking for a second set............ |

Chandler, AZ | You might try Victory of Mesa (AZ); they usually have CFRs available, and have always been fair on pricing. Erick or Rick. |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | I actually talked to Cary the other night. He said they are gonna make another batch soon. I'll also try Victory of Mesa and see if they have any leftovers. Keep fingers crossed...........They are listed on the CFR site again @ cfrmotorcycles.com for $637.00 |

Grand Cane, LA | I hope Cary does make some more. I have had more people ask me about mine everywhere I go. I hated to tell them that he wasn't making them anymore. Now it looks like he is going to make me out to be a liar! Just when I thought I was going to be one of the only few out there. LOL! |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | Some Harley friends told me that my 08' with the CFR's is the best sounding bike ever made............. I like the Thundersticks on my 13' but they just don't have that giant rumble that the CFR's do......... |

Orlando, FL | Love my CFR's and good to hear Carey is going to make more. And while $637 seems about right, I'm glad I got mine when he stopped making them and was blowing them out the door. Hope you get a set soon Steve. |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | I must be getting old, but I just got back from Daytona for Biketoberfest and man my Thundersticks drove me crazy on thre highway, at 80 mph they were just too loud, I could barely hear the stereo ( of course the 13' stereos aren't loud enough anyway ), Hell I might even put my S1L2's back on the 2013 till I can get some CFR's made....... |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | Yes, thanks johnnyvision. I spoke to Cary about 10 days ago and he said he was gonna do another run of slip on mufflers but not for another couple of months. Hope to score some soon..........Maybe if a few of us called he'd hurry up, just wishing.......... |

Georgia, west of Atlanta | What do you guys think a fair price for the Thundersticks would be ?? They have about 2000 miles on them. Not perfect but in excellent shape. Think $375.00+ actual shipping is a fair price ?? They list for $576.00 plus tax and shipping from Lloydz. They aren't for everyone, they are pretty loud..............Also is Ebay an OK place to sell parts, never used it as a seller.

West Salem, WI United States | These look nice, would be nice to hear what the CFR's sound like. Maybe one of you guys with them on could take a video and let the rest of us hear them? |

The videos never really due them justice. I've had S1L2's and Thundersticks on my other Vision. The S1L2's don't even come close and the Thundersticks are excellent but not as low and booming. The CFR's sound like a 50 flathead Ford at idle. A Harley guy I know that has a 110HP 107inch RoadGlide says "That's the best sounding bike ever made" And he works at a private motorcycle shop that primarily works on Harleys......................
