I was at the dealership today and they had a new gray F6B. The salesman was nice enough to start it up for me so I could hear the new sound. I was very happy that in my opinion they are not any louder than the previous pipes. However they are a deeper/richer tone that sounded great. I could listen to the radio with the volume turned up to the same level I use on my 2013.

If you want to hear a '15 F6B exhaust, just listen to a '14 Valk exhaust. You can hear the deeper rumble, but the cam drive and trans gears' whine still dominate.
Don't play it too loud or you'll get distortion:

Wutt Wo. I should quit looking at this thing. I know me.

These are cool. Especially the view from the rear.

Agree they are cool bags and look nice, but $1800 nice??...If you like the Valk and want one that much, I suppose money is not a issue as the Valkyrie is a really nice Cruiser...

I'm not there. I don't ride it, eat it, or drive it, if I am afraid I might like it. That's how I handle that. I love my F6.

Is it just me, or does it look like they got the color wrong? For $1800 they ought to at least match the paint properly.

Actually the sound is better on the F6B and the gear whine is less pronounced because of the body work. I owned the new valkyrie for 1000 miles so I know a little bit about the sound.

These are a pics of someone on the VRCC who just got the bags. Looks sweet to me. $1800 may seem like a lot, but when you consider that 15 years ago, the original Beetle Bags sold by Corbin would set you back $1500, not really that bad. Just a set of bags for the original Valks will put a hurting on your wallet. Oh and they have a larger capacity than our F6B bags.
