Radiant Cycles GT shorty exhaust. 2017 Victory Octane

Starting up the bike with the new Radiant Cycles GT shorty exhaust.

[@HaKa1noSensh1]

Ended up ordering these slip ons after watching the vid and ITS DOPE!! Real head turner

[@Krumar54]

I put these on my octane and found them too loud, I was setting off car alarms just rolling down streets and leaving my apartment complex. And living in Southern California with all of its insane noise laws it was only a matter of time till I get pulled over. Put the stock mufflers back on after 3 days. Currently saving up for Crusher Maverick 2.5" Slip On Exhaust.

[@jordonflexer9415]

By chance for sale? My buddy is interested.

[@Krumar54]

Sure they are for sale, little scratched up from rolling around in my trunk but nothing too noticeable.

[@Estebeezy]

Krumar how do they sound while driving?

[@feshtuerdsklamshyt9642]

They mellow out during a ride. just idles aggressively.......like most bikers love. Most

[@hooniganhondaboy8091]

Motorcycles don’t have a noise ordinance in Cali bud only cars

[@Me-yh4uc]

OH BET THE NEIGHBORS LOVE YOU.

[@bierlichen1]

Victory made beautiful bikes. Nice bike Rob.

[@RoniMugaki]

I installed these radiant pipes yesterday! Awesome👊🏾😎

[@talesoftwobros]

Gorgeous sound

[@doughill2389]

The add for these gp shorty state the bike needs to be recalibrated any thought on that??????

[@paulpalumbo7648]

Hows the ride quality when riding with a passenger?

[@DeusBelli76]

Really nice sound

[@thomasklausen5160]

Crazy good sound !!

[@mattthompson6906]

Ok I just bought one and want to update the seat and exhaust where can these be found 5 years later

[@DanielSalazar-rd3cj]

Did you paint them to match the paint from the exhaust?

[@T1k213]

Do you think the driver backrest seat is really worth the upgrade? Pretty pricey but I’m thing about doing it

[@zdayishere]

100% yes.

[@maxmisterOGM]

Beautifull bike, i'm french and i wanna buy the same bike, where are y buying accesories ?

[@Marcojani]

Hi Rob, could you describe the process to take the stock mufflers of and these new ones on as well? I am particularly how you got the new ones on, I guess no welding was involved nor glue and all? :) Thanks!

[@zdayishere]

Marco Oudshoorn The process was fairly simple. On the side where you see the exhaust bolted to the bike, loosen the bolts. Afterwards, I sprayed LOTS of WD40 on the pipes. I waited about 10 minutes, took a rag, covered the tip of the exhaust and began pulling back and up and down eventually the top one slid off I then moved to the bottom and repeated the process. To get them on, nothing out of the ordinary was needed. They slid right on where I removed the stock pipes. I positioned them facing down and out a little, then tightened the bolts down. No special tools or welding needed. Just bolted right up.

[@Marcojani]

Awesome thanks Rob! On my way now to the hardware store to get some gallons of WD-40 :)

[@spriest8929]

Where did you get the backrest for the rider? I can't find one anywhere!

[@zdayishere]

I got it when I bought the bike in 2016. This particular bike was destroyed in a house fire in late 2017. I ended up buying another Octane a few months ago and can't find a backrest like that one anywhere.

[@ZombieZim713]

@@zdayishere hopefully this time you didnt put el cheapo radiant turds on the new one!

[@zdayishere]

@@ZombieZim713 haha. I like the cheap radiants. But I went a little more expensive this time.

[@manueldsalinas2147]

Have you had any issues with the exhaust? Dyno/ tuner? Sounds good.

[@zdayishere]

MDS2147 No problems as of right now. Since I am otherwise stock, no need for the tune or other mapping. Once I get the air box I'll have to get a fuel controller though.

[@hobbitpsi]

To be honest you don't need to get the air box. All you ned is to take a drill to the current box so it takes in more air.

[@Spiff12]

I love the dual backrest with the luggage rack, where's it from?

[@toddkoontz23]

Kenny, I have the dual backrest on my Octane as well. It's from Victory as part of their Octane accessories.

[@zdayishere]

Thanks. It is from Victory. I negotiated it in with my purchase.

[@Spiff12]

Nice. It looks really good on the bike. They don't make one with a similar style for the Gunner's or I'd have been all about it over my current backrest.

[@wesleyskinner5660]

Kenny, what backrest are you using on your Gunner?

[@Spiff12]

This one here: www.ebay.com/itm/Victory-Vegas-Kingpin-Highball-8-Ball-Motorcycle-Luggage-Rack-Backrest-USA-Made-/231854912116?fits=Make%3AVictory%7CModel%3AVegas Pretty similar, but I like the two supports coming up the back of the rest and especially the driver's backrest. I'd kill for a little back support.

[@ericpineda4343]

Do these give any performance gain?

[@AA-ol4ol]

Eric Pineda The manufacturers site said no tune required, but you get lean pop when it gets hot. I uploaded just a map and the lean pop was gone. I’m sure if you upload a tune as well you’ll feel a big difference

[@navpurba6419]

Hi.. i order thia once for my bobber 2018 .. just wondering i need tunne up or not ?

[@zdayishere]

No, you will not need a tune up

[@brap17x]

Do the shorties have baffles in them?

[@zdayishere]

brap17x Yes they do have baffles...but barely any.

[@brap17x]

Rob Fox that's sweet. Do you know the sound difference from the bike having no mufflers, compared to the shorty mufflers? I love the price on the ones you have

[@zdayishere]

I didn't get a video of it, but it is VERY similar. I love loud pipes, so this delivers what I wanted, but I can understand if people don't like it.

[@brap17x]

Rob Fox Ive decided im going to spend big... buying the stage 2 full exhaust from victory for the octane and the performance intake. Wish me luck

[@Chance-ry1hq]

It sounds like my neighbors lawn mower.

[@zdayishere]

Then your neighbor has a kick ass sounding lawnmower!

[@SlickD217]

Not bad for $100

[@etrain9116]

Sounds like sex!

[@czrider6300]

Bad 👎🏼
