Re:want a set of cobra's 4 Years, 11 Months ago  
Thanks RK. I've heard good things about the big HK's. The reason I bought the Cobra pipes were price, but I also liked the way they sweep down and stay down along the side of the bike like HK's. I think I'm going to have to switch to get the sound I'm looking for. I've had compliments on the Speedsters, but I've had way to many leaks with them for my liking. I finally got them to seal the last time (5th time off and on) by using JB weld to cover the slots where the clamps don't cover them and let hot gas discolor my engine side cover. Now I'm probably have a hell of a time getting them off now when I go to replace them, but at least my chrome isn't getting burnt anymore.

One thing I found after lowering the rear of my bike is that these type of low mounted pipes scrape the ashpalt on sharp righ turns. Have you found that or is your bike stock height?
