If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am thinking of getting the Vance & Hines Standard Pro Pipe. Anyone have this pipe. I currently have a Supertrapp, but it is missing the disc, and I just don't like the sound of it. Does the Vance & Hines Standard Pro Pipe fit without modification. I just got back from a local bike nite event at Quaker Steak and lube. My bike got a lot of looks, I guess people like that old sckool look. I know I do!. :D
 
I have a VH meg that i would be willing to trade, if you are interested...
 
They are nice pipes but do you want a baffle, I'm not sure but I think the pro doesn't come with a baffle. I had the V&H meg. on a GS 1100 a baffle and no packing it was super sa weet, had a beautiful hum to it. I took the baffle out on a couple of occasions. I can testify that loud pipes don't save lives, after I went by a few people I got shot the bird.
This is how it looked when I brought it, I stripped it down and painted with charcoal grill paint, Don't do that, looks ok but will rust easy.

Actually, now that I think about it, I have a full Kerker exhaust, decent shape, black, that id be willing to trade for your Trapp...I have a couple spare discs and backing plates too I would be willing to sell if you dont want to get rid of it. They are an "aquired" taste as they have a bit of a different tone compared to most pipes.
 
The V&H Pro pipe is WAY too loud for street use. If you put one on your bike, your neighbors will soon hate you, and the cops will start keeping an eye out for you.

A standard megaphone V&H (or Kerker or Mac) is considerably quieter, and gives you better ground clearance to boot. Stay away from Mac though, the chrome plating doesn't seem to have been of good quality for several years now.

Does your V&H have the baffle, I really don't want anything that is outrageously loud. I am interested in both of your pipes.

+1 on the V&H street megaphone. On my 81 I kept the centerstand and access to the oil filter. It does have a baffle and IMHO has a great "old school" sound without being too loud. It does not really sing until above 5000 RPM so your neighbors will appreciate it as well.
