Default Fishtail extensions....

I am wondering if any of you guys are running fishtail extensions on your motorcycles? They seem to be cheap enough, and bolt to lots of exhausts from stock systems to drag pipes. I'm just thinking about that all that extra chrome, and may want to order up a set to bolt to my drag pipes. Anyone done this. They are less than 40 bucks a piece. Thoughts?

ive never been a fan. mostly because most people have them sticking a foot out from behind their bikes and it makes it look tacky. but to each his own. if you feel you should do it, go for it!!

Totally unrelated but your signature picture looks like it was taken in Granger, Washington. They have statues of dinosaurs all over that town.

I've seen fishtails on a softail that looked great (to me anyway) but I just can't picture them on a Dyna for some reason.

Hey Chop, great pic. Yeah, just goes to show I love fishtails! But that system is gone and I'm running drags now. Thanks guys for the replies. No I could not run them Cholo style like the Softail guys, but I can run right side extensions on my drags that I would run out to the rear fender. Thats kind of the idea I have and where I was hoping to get opinions. How would drags with fishtail extensions out to the rear of the fender look?

Again, thanks chop for the memorable pic!

If the fishtail pipes I had built for mine would have sounded better than they did, they would still be on the bike.

I love "olds-kool/old-skool" look on bikes anyway.............

Until they are installed, the look, sound, along with performance are subjective.

Me, I think they would look killer on your bike, but what do I know..........
