The extremely popular Vance & Hines Straightshots are now available for the Harley-Davidson 2004 and 2005 Sportsters, offering that great look, awesome sound and high performance that Vance & Hines is famous for. ance & Hines Straight-shots have been a Harley-Davidson favorite from the day they were introduced. The Straightshots and Straightshots HS, with their full-coverage heat shields for both the headers and mufflers, are about as straightforward–no pun intended–as a Harley-Davidson exhaust gets. Just like the bikes they’re designed for, the look of these pipes is pure and simple, the sound is hot-rod nasty and with removable baffles they’ll deliver all the bark a rider wants while toning down the annoying bite of normal straight pipes. And the quality, fit and available options are everything you’d expect from Vance & Hines. The Straightshots HS systems are Vance & Hines pipes that make a statement. Thousands of riders have proudly bolted them onto their Softails, Dynas and Sportsters.
     Now those same Straightshots HS exhausts are available for the hottest new bikes in the Harley-Davidson lineup, the rubber-mount/extended-wheelbase 2004 and 2005 Sportsters. These new XLs are selling like crazy and it’s no wonder why. The price is right, but squint your eyes just a little while looking at one of these new-design Sportsters and you’d swear you were staring at a Big Twin Dyna. Put on a set of Vance & Hines Straightshots HS pipes and that illusion becomes complete.
     That great look will be around for the long haul, too. The new Straightshots HS Sportster exhaust is virtually “blue-proof.” Full-coverage heat shields see to that. The big, 2 1/2-inch diameter plasma-arc-cut full-coverage header and muffler heat shields deliver long lasting style, and under those shields there’s everything you’ve grown to love about Vance & Hines. Good looks like this are important but Vance & Hines knows there’s more to a real Harley exhaust than just that. Pipes have to perform, too. The Vance & Hines racing heritage–combined with countless hours of testing and tuning on the dyno and at the track–sees to that. The Straightshots HS exhausts definitely bring it on. There’s a real boost in performance over stock, and there’s that deep and throaty traditional hot-rod sound to announce it all. This is an exhaust built to set a bike apart from the crowd. Baffles, mounting hardware and complete instructions are included for a hassle-free fit every time, and there are optional quiet baffles available, too.
     The new Straightshots HS Sportster pipes are in Drag Specialties warehouses now. They retail for $499. Like everything else coming from Vance & Hines these pipes are designed and manufactured in the USA, and a quick call to your Drag Specialties rep is all it takes to get them on your shelf, and then just as quickly onto your customers’ new Sportsters.
