I'm taking off my pred. pipes this week and swapping out for a set of epco cans. I like the pred pipes but the angled neck with the TBS header pushes the exhaust into the turn signals and the sound does resonate a bit more swept up that high.
Bottom line the girlfriend doesn't likey too much, earplugs help but this is my better two up bike so I need to give in a little. God though the sound is freakin awesome!!!
These pipes would look bitchin on the proper header. Gonna sell em, so do you all think 300 bucks is too much? They are pretty nice used 18 months maybe?
Don't remember where the receipt is but they were a little more than my D&D's I think. I'm going to post them for sale here this weekend after I test fit and trial ride the new ones. Then onto fleabay.
Your input is appreciated. KEN

I think these pipes are great. I'm very happy with the set I have.

If anyone is looking for a good exhaust upgrade, jump on these!

p.s. They don't sweep up quite as high on my Legend.

Hey Ken, I was just online to order a set of D&Ds but saw your post. I've sent you a private message but thought I jump on a post reply. Ordered a set of Predators last year but the brackets were all buggered up and BC said they would be coming out with a batch to fit the Legend within the next month of two. Well, it's pretty clear they've stopped selling them all together!

Love to hear what you are asking?

Will those things fit a `99 Adventurer?

Here's what they look like on my Legend:

Thx Big Al for the picture; that's the look I was shooting for but alas the BC shop couldn't make my **** right either... They are nice pipes most likely a lack of communication on my behalf with the Triumph shop in California who ordered them as a "custom" built pipe. Imagine my surprise when I saw them in the BC catalog two months later. Ahhh, and I thought I was special.

I'm still waiting on my epco's and my ignition advance rotor thingy, once the pipes have been fitted, tested and approved I'll then polish up the Pred. and put them up for sale.
-Andrea I'll drop you a pm later this week on the price, I'm still trying to find my invoice from southbay triumph.

I think I must have gotten lucky with mine, because from what I understand the Predators for Thunderbird/Legend are no longer available from them.

You should come on a ride with the Baltimore Triumph Renegades sometime and we can compare notes:
