Default anyone else like fishtails?

No, I ain' talkin bout real eatin fishtails from Long John Silvers or slutty mermaids. I mean Harley fishtail mufflers. For some reason I always had a "fetish" bout fishtail mufflers. They seem to add character, flair and charmisma to any HD. That is why I bought these off ebay to put on my Ultra.
Hell Yeah. I be a Redneck Hillbilly.
