36 inch fishtails
Hey I was wondering if anybody knew where I could find a set of 36 inch fishtail exhaust for a 1987 Electra glide flhtc. I can only find 31” I feel like they would look kinda funny being so short.

hey thanks yeah mine are the flange mount pipes. Can I change them to the slip fit ? Or would I have to run a whole next exhaust from the heads back to fit that.

The flange mount stuff is about all gone, though you might get lucky if you're patient and search ebay regularly. But what you find will likely be very well used. You'd be much better served to change the pipes, if you're determined to do straight pipe fishtails. Any pipes up to '05 will bolt on, and maybe later, though you'd have to plug the O2 sensor holes.
But don't throw away your old pipes. Not many, but some people like me still use the flange mounts. That rear pipe was $450. when they were still avaliable.
