Getting new Rush slip-ons for my 2016 Softail Slim S. What says old school more. Slash cut, or Baloney cut?

I think drag pipes would be more old school.

Baloney cut? Never heard of that one. Someone called mine "pelican beak" or some kind of bird beak. Never heard of that until then either.

But I agree with fishtails.

Got away from the over under pipe on my wifes bike and I couldn't like the look more. I know it's not slip-ons but the cost is only a couple hundred more, less if you go Bassani Road Rage.


That big *** pipe bracket is gone.

So...it's a slash cut, turned sideways. I never knew there a name for that. Thanks for clearing it up.
