That's exactly the spot where I have the discoloration on my V&H Longshots, too! I've been working it over with chrome polish and Brasso and a soft rag, and a lot of it is starting to come off... It's definitely ugly, though. I think I will definitely leave my heat shields on!   Logged     My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #107237 Rider4Christ (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 159 Re:V&H Longshots debaffeled?...make me louder! 1 Year, 3 Months ago   If the entire pipe looked like that from head to tail, it would look pretty cool......IMHO. But, I wouldn't worry about keeping it clean, just worry about keeping that heat sheild on!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #107240 RoadieFF (Moderator) In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 3507 Re:V&H Longshots debaffeled?...make me louder! 1 Year, 3 Months ago   My problem is, the discoloration is in a 2" spot in the heat shield, right over that exact same area.   Logged     My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #107276 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 14517 Re:V&H Longshots debaffeled?...make me louder! 1 Year, 3 Months ago   RoadieFF wrote: Back in the "olden days" all our pipes looked like that, we didn't have no stinkin heat shields.

Todays the day. Either cut 'em or put them back in.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #107449 Rider4Christ (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 159 Re:V&H Longshots debaffeled?...make me louder! 1 Year, 3 Months ago   6" off the side w/o the bolt hole (yes the front). You can always cut more, but that did it for me. Last night, I took off the AIS. Now on decel the bike sounds even better!!!!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #107475 Clifford (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1168 Re:V&H Longshots debaffeled?...make me louder! 1 Year, 3 Months ago   Heat and chrome get that result. If the mixture is set properly the temperature of the exhaust gasses as they leave the cylinder is about 1,400 deg F. There is no way to stop the pipes from discoloring. the cure is to cover the discoloration up with a heatshield.

I bought it in 04 and the longshots for the 1700 were not out yet. The dealer put on the ones for the 1600 motor and it sounded great. I took off the AIS and added an open air kit and it sounded louder and better I removed the baffles and she sounded even better. Then I went all out and got the 108 big bore kit and it is amazing how great this bike sounds. I do get alot of popping on cold wet days. My buddy has an 06 with the 1700 and the newer longshots and everything else stock. He pulled out the baffles and it did not sound good at all. The newer pipes are bigger and with a stock air box you just don't have enough back pressure for power or sound.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #118403 Scrubber (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 108 Re:V&H Longshots debaffeled?...make me louder! 1 Year, 2 Months ago   I was going to try the "homemade thundermonster" per http://roadstarclinic.com/content/view/98/105/ It says to use 2 1/8" O.D., I measuresd my Longshots and the pipe itself is only 2" I.D. Am I missing something? I've read the 1600 have a smaller exhaust but mine is a 1700.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
