06 Ridgeback w/10840miles little noisey but not that bad. I would like to try the S&S type just to see if there's a big difference. How much are the S&S boxes?

I had TP covers for 12k and the motor blew to pieces. Valve broke in rear cylinder and went into lower ends. Fortunatly I had an extended warrenty and it covers most of it but it has been 6 months and bike is still in shop.

Have S&S with 8000+ miles but previous owner has exhaust valve guide on front cylinder changed due to excessive noise and wear.

I had an 06 Mastiff that had TP's. The new owner isn't a forum member so I'll cast the vote.

06 K9. Came stock with TP boxes but didn't care for the "streamlined" look, nor the slight noise difference. Switched back to standard S&S. No complaints with TP. Just a personal choice.

I have TP covers, is there supposed to be a problem with them ? why switch to S&S
some people have had bad issues with them.. misalignment... causing valve guide wear,,, then possibe valve breakage.... do a search.. its covered alot.. S&S are the correct set up.. there was a recall on them I believe or @least a service bullitin..

T.P. Covers

I have T.P. covers. My brothers has S&S. Whats the difference. I get the vibe that S&S must be better? I'm not a motorhead so I guess you all can educate me if you like
