Thanks!

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

From what I've seen around the place, V&H is the way to go.
However, from V&H ones I've seen for the GS500's, check to make sure it will still allow you to get the oil filter cover off and sump plug out without having to remove the pipes or oil changes will become a PITA.
Also handy to know if you can retain the centre stand or not.

I'd go V&H.
With the V&H you can still change the oil filter. Its a pita because you get the exhaust all oily and smokey but it does come out.
Then again its only 5 bolts to pull the pipes off and your garanteed that the bolts won't be in the engine long enough to seize in there
With the 500's you can keep the center stand and it comes with a bracket to stop the stand from hitting the pipe.
The Mac is still nice though.

Cant find a pic. But I believe its the same with the normal long tube type silencer.
