Do these have full length heat shields to hide the blue'ing? Anyone have these for a while to get your opinions after a couple of months of ownership? Also, another q... do they come with baffles?

Re:New Freedom Performance Exhaust for Roadstar 3 Years, 9 Months ago  
well Gents,
I've had them on my bike for about 6 months now...LOVE 'EM!
Mine have never scraped..and I have lowered mine in the rear AND the front.
These pipes can be adjusted during installation...
Martin at FP is great to deal with..abd true to his word. I believe now they are sold exclusively through No Pork.
Last i spoke to Martin he was making some 3.5" mufflers for these...WHEW doggy...Might have to try them! If you order these, and i would HIGHLY recommend them..spring for the chrome mounts...ESPECIALLY if you get the Kuryakyn chrome side covers...and then the chrome pegs..and chrome and chrome...oops..Sorry wife they are really for safety so yo can be seen!

SO folks..let Freedom roar!
chrome up and rubber down!

while i cant say for sure,i believe freedom is a small manufacturer that invests their money in making a good product instead of fancy adverticing. somebody;s got to be the biggest somebody;s got to be the best . what do you want?

I have the new Freedom Performance true dual 3 1/2 with black aluminum tips. I switched from Hardkromes and these pipes are unbelievable. I just cannot get over how good they sound. It is the lowest throatiest rumble I have ever heard on any bike. I am happy, happy, happy. I can get people in touch with Ray in California if you want a good deal. I recieved mine in 5 days after ordering.

Can you post a few more pictures from different angles of your pipes. I have the original freedom duals on one of my bikes and I'm thinking of putting another set on my other R*. When you say this Ray guy will give you a good deal what kind of price did you pay??

Hey HO2G (and anyone else considering the Freedom True Duals -

Do yourselves a favor and contact Emilio over at Bikers Addiction (bikersaddiction@ymail.com). I bought mine from him and he was a joy to work with! Nothing against NoPork, but Emilio beat their price by around $70.

And I LOVE the pipes!!!! Sound great! Guess I need to update my pic now...
