Those tails fit that bike just right. I had some on my Road King when I bought it but they just didn't look right.
Looks like you've got that scooter looking better than before the mishap!! Good job.

No, those aren't "shark fins", those are "fish tails", or sometimes "rocket tails". Just like I have.
