I've asked Samson about the length and height of their fishtails but got no answer on the length, so I can't determine where they start going upward. They did tell me the fishtails are about 5" high.

In the photo below I have 28" mufflers. I don't want the fishtails sticking way out - as close to the bags as possible but of course clearing them would be best.

My choices are 30", 33", or 36".

Anyone have Samson fishtails on their Deluxe while running Road King hardbags??

Also, one rep from Samson answered my question of "what's the difference between your products that say "mufflers" and those that say "slip-ons?" One rep answered there is no difference. Another answered the slip-ons have no baffles. Anyone know which is correct?

 

I cant seem to find the post but I do remember seeing someone on the forum running 33" fishtails with RK Bags and they seems to just barley clear. Maybe someone else will chime in

 

Hope they pipe up! I'd like to see a pic.

 

The Samson website has pictures that give a fairly representative look of how the pipes fit. It appears that 33s would be your best bet...

my bikes a 97 heritage with hard bags and 33 inch fishtails that are about 6 years old

 

Very helpful, thanks!!

 

33" are the minimum to clear both hard bags and RK bags.

 

Yep looks like 33" it is. If I got the 36" I know I would back them into something at some point

 

Peg, here is a link that has lots and lots of Pics with different lengths of pipes. Just look through and see what you like...

Thanks! I did a google image search on a Deluxe with fishtails and hardbags but didn't find anything and didn't think to try it with a road king
