Default It is not vicla by any means but…

I am always tweaking things on my bike and recently put these fishtails. It is not a vicla by any means but seems I am unconsciously leaning this way while putting new components. The beauty of Road King versatility is really something else.

Still want to keep it rideable for these longer trips so comfort is important. These drag pipes might not be the best idea but I like the look

Do the pipes scrape before the foot boards? If not, stop worrying and Ride, Ride, Ride. Tis the Riding season (even in nowhere).

P.S. I kind of like them too.

I have a soft spot for fishtails, ran them on my '18 Street Glide for a while and absolutely loved them. Got a ton of compliments on them as well.

Your bike looks great, OP.
