I think that the high mounts look a bunch better, but then again if I had 5 spoke rims I would try to show them off too (they look so good)

I love the look of a high mount myself as well. But the Sato's in pic 2 are nice as hell.

In general that should be the finish of the HM and LM

I agree about the HM showing off the rims but there is just something about that LM that I love

Are Creeper's the HM or LM? They look like they come up pretty high, but they don't seem to have the bends in the pipes like the HM in pic #1. I like Creeper's and pic#3.

Creepers are the LM version... Same pipes as in 3 with the new design.

That is why I personally liked the LM version. Just cleaner, straighter lines than the more serpentine HM. But hey, it's all a personal thing, eh?

Maybe I just liked the looks of the undertail in the pic of the highmounts one? mind you I do like the looks of the high pipes for some reason? either way, I would jump all over any one of the three of them...what ever floats your boat TG

That is nice. I'm not sure about the yellow rims, but live the pipes and the way they look along the lines of the bike.

If you have men's sized feet, I say go LM... I had High's on my 51 and my feet were always on them. I was looking for some low mounts when it was jacked.
