Default Fishtail questions after my install

Installed a set of Bassani True dual 36" Fishtails on my bike today. Couple questions.
1. How do yall ride with 36"+ tails? I had raised my Shotgun Shock and still dragged on light curves lol.
2. Has anyone used a set of Big City Thunder baffles in their fish tails? These things are loud as **** and raspy. I've read about the lollipop but figure the baffles should fit.
3. Any opinions on these on a Fatboy like mine? I got em for 499 new with a scuff on one of the tips. Brand new. Love the look. Still need to install the heat shields.

Like the brackets are installed wrong. Look at the side shot and you can see the bracket hanging 2" below the pipe

Definitely love the look. I have a lowered Ultra and all I can say is, if in doubt - take it at an angle if you can. Watch the railroad crossings and driveways.

I'm an idiot. I swapped the brackets. All good.

I'm thinking of picking up a set of Big City Thunder Quiet Baffles. Thinking they should fit snug if push em all the way back. Or should I just get the monster baffles?

The BCT Quiet baffles are good. May also want to check out Smartpartz baffles. Likely best route to take,
