    Hi
    I see Triumph are doing 2 different versions of the Vance&Hines for the T120. An EU and a US version - both versions are available in the UK.
    Now does anyone know which one is the most free flowing as regards it's emissions and depth of sound?

    US...as long as you get the dremmel out and remove the tab that prevents the circlip (that holds the baffle) being removed. Still not loud but the EU version effectively has a fixed baffle.

    No disrespect to Triumph or anyone whose fitted Vance and Hines but general consensus from a few is that they aren't an awful lot different or louder than the OE ones. I'm very pleased with the Remus ones I've fitted but looks wise they are different to the peashooter style. I'm sure there will be other makes such as TEC along soon as well

    The EU ones are quieter than the US one as the baffle is not removable. I was disappointed when I heard the EU ones but am very happy with my US ones, not too loud but a nice improvement over stock.

    It will be interesting to see what the Norman Hyde Toga slip ons are going to be like.

    Late to the party here... but new to T120. Interested in weight difference between stock, V&H and Remus cans. Remus really sound good, according to You tube vids and according to one I had on my Tiger 1050 a few yrs ago. But I'd really like to retain the "vintage" look of V&H, as long as they're not too quiet and not to heavy. Pretty hard to find info. Would like to hear your comments. Cheers!
