Opinions on fishtails?
I am seriously considering getting some fistails for my bike. I love the look of them, especially with the apes. I guess eventually I would like to give my bike full on gangster look. That means Fishtails, whitewalls, and a 21" front spoke wheel and an 18" rear spoke wheel with matching rotors and pulley and all that crap. I have to do this one item at a time and am not sure where to start. I have managed to put aside enough to get the samson true dual fishtails, but then I did a search and read about the v and h true duals. A little more $ but I have v and h now and I really dig their quality. How do current fishtail owners rate thier hapiness with their fishtail purchases, and how do they sound. I want a deep, low tone. What do you ahve and have you had any problems with them? Thanks.

I had some VandH before I went to duals... was not pleased with the quality...
I tried some SuperTrapp slipon fishtails... they were junk
Now I have some samson slipon fishtails... great quality... best stuff I've seen...

I just installed the Samson true dual Fishtails on my Fatboy. I had the V&H big radius on before and I liked them ok, but wanted the old school look of the fishtails to go along with the whitewalls. I love em. They sound great. Really deep tone and they really come to life when you crack the throttle and during acceleration. I'll put up some pics as soon as I can.

I had Samson's on a 99 Heritage Springer and loved them on that bike. If they fit the bike great!!! On some bikes they look out of place, on others they just fit!! Sounded killer, sorry I sold that bike, I loved it, just needed money at the time.
