Default fishtails installed
Ordered and received the fishtails for my 85 FLTC and finally installed them today. I like the looks and sound.

They look good!

Are they true duals or do you have a crossover pipe?

No they aren't true duals they have the crossover. I had stock mufflers on it and they were way to quiet, these have a nice sound. Here is a youtube clip with them running.

Sounds good but you might want to tighten that right one up.

I thought I saw that right one slide forward a bit too when you revved it. Great sound.
I've always liked the look of fishtails.

The youtube clip is from the manufacturer of the mufflers not on my bike.
