I'll be the first to admit we have had issues getting things back from chrome in a timely manner but everything is coming back quickly and efficiently now and our chrome is Quad Chrome (hexavalent) not trivalent.

Yes these are available. If you want them I can have them shipped out to you today. If you want 42" ones I can ship those out to you today as well.

hey guys, hate to jump a thread, but I have to ask you, Jameson, is that a 21" with a stock Fatboy Fender on the front and an 18" in the rear? 120/70-21 Front tire, 130/70-18 rear tire? Bike looks great. Ready to put the 21" on my Fatty, was gonna go heritage Fender but wondering what the Fatty fender will look like with the 21. Looks Great !!!!

That rear is a 16". Definitely a stock fatboy fender with brackets to raise it for the 21". The bracket part number is 1410-0066 in chrome or 1410-0067 in black. It is solely my opinion that the stock fender sits a little weird for a 21" wheel with the brackets but you cannot tell from seeing it at this angle. I still prefer the Deluxe or Heritage fender for that old school nostalgic look.

Hats off to any company that owns up to their current situation regardless of what it is. Working in this industry thing happen that are beyond anyone;s control and have the ability to really screw everything for all involved and I know this as well as anyone else. There is a lot more to manufacturing that just putting the product in a box and shipping it out. Samson has always taken great care of us and will continue to. It takes what it takes to get the product made to spec. better to wait a long time than receive a substandard product.

I will be selling Samson fishtails again as soon as they have some ready to ship me so let me know and I can get you pricing and a lead time. I am sure Samson will revive themselves in a timely manner and continue producing the nicest fishtails on the market.

Glad to see you guys are on your feet again. I bought mine before your move and have loved having them on my bike every minute. I can be in a crowd of 10 or more bikes and the fishtails get top compliments. OP, In my opinion you are moving in the right direction with either the 23" or the 28 1/2".

Completely agree. If you want fishtails, Samson is the way to go.
