Well I finally did it, I bought a warrior, and love it. I got a brand new 06 red Warrior from Sindt Motor Sales in Iowa. This is my first post and I must say that this site is a huge help, I have already learned a lot. I have Megan from www.pipecity.com (great site, service, and people) on hold while I decide what exhaust to get and after all of my searching in the last few days I have two main questions:
1. On the Shogun Rip Saws how hard is it to put baffles in them, do they have removable tips or what? I've read on here that people have done it, but www.pipecity.com says that they don't make any baffles for them.
2. On the Bub Rinehart Flush pipes are there two different lengths? On www.pipecity.com the picture shows them being shorter than what Bub shows on their website.
Rhineharts are over-rated and over priced, IMO. I had a set on back order for ever and I'm glad I gave up on them. I eventually went with Vance and Hines Bigshots. GREAT sound and they make really good power too. Pro pipe is another popular option and makes good numbers as well.
Welcome brother..Whaddya want...performance or sound? Speed* for performance...Ripsaws for sound. See my gallery. You'll turn heads..including the boys in blue![}/emoticons/emotion-1.gif] I've heard here that the Rinies are better quality than the Samsons, but I haven't met a Warrior yet with a set installed. Baffles give you a bit more torque back, but only look at Thunder Mountain from what I hear.
Vance and Hines propipe or big shot are the way to go. You get hp increases and TQ as well.
Rineharts staggered or flush are the way to go. You get hp increases and TQ as well.[/emoticons/emotion-5.gif] V-Bak, RH's, PCIII 86 HP and 111 TQ. Forgot to mention the BC Monster baffles. On some websites the rinehart flush appear longer. Do a search here in the gallery section the see actually pics.

I love that single sided swing arm, that looks sweet!!
I am really not looking for performance, the stock warrior is plenty fast for me. I had a wreck about 2 years ago and totaled my crotch rocket. So I won't be setting any land speed records. I am mainly looking for sound and looks. I like the pipes short that show the rear wheel and swing arm. I love the way the rip saws look but they are too loud. Wanting some info on quiting em' down with baffles. Other wise I'll probably do the Rineharts.
If you're looking at Samson then check out the Samson Shogun Short Slashers. Their basically the same as the Rip Saws...You can get baffles for the Short Slashers to quiet them down. But, personally I love the way they sound without the baffles. They are LOUD! Just ask my neighbors...[/emoticons/emotion-5.gif][/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]
They look good on the Warrior too...They don't hide the rear of the bike.
Congrats on getting a new warrior and to the forum. I too have a 06 red. Sweet! I would recommend getting the V&H bigshots but know that you prefer showing off the back tire. Reinhearts are nice but pricy.
Come and say hi on the Red Warrior Club too!

Hi There,
I am new to this forum and also new to the cruiser world. Since 1996 I have been riding motorcycles but mostly sport or sport touring category and never had Cruisers.
Now after turning 50+ last year, I decided to give cruisers a try and found a great deal for 2009 Warrior in Red...
Just scooped up a bone stock 04 rs warrior with 1000 miles on the clock, thing looks brand new. Been about 10yrs since I first rode one and fell in love and finally bought one. I just ordered a Churchkey V-BAK, coil relocation kit from Akitadog, AIS delete from Pacific Coast, V&H big shots and a...
I just bought a 2006 warrior a few weeks ago. I am very impressed with it i have had harleys forever but my body couldn't take the vibrations & I didn't like the prices for what I wanted. So far I love this bike. It's stock with a dynajet controller in it. I don't think the dealer new it was on...
Help me decide...
1. 2006 Blue 18k miles, Sissy bar, Engine guards, new tires, recent oil change, small windshield and Vance and Hines short shots (super loud) I would definitely put quiet baffles on it. Has no fuel controller. Just under $4k Owner has had it for 2 years.
2. 2002 27K miles...
So far im loving it! It already had 18" ape hangers and loud Vance and Hines pipes, and a corbin seat with backrest. I took the backrest off, ill prolly just use it for longer rides. The bike is my daily. I know sure i want to get a fender eliminator and move the license plate to the side. I...
