I have them on my FB and they look great. Just remember that once installed you have a hot pipe where it didn't used to be before but I am sure you can learn fast....It only takes once.

Also look into a extension for the left side passenger peg or they will be getting hot as well.

What thoughts are you looking for? Put them on.

They look great on a Heritage.

I would normally recommend Samson as I think they are the best looking (fishtails). However, as of the past few years their quality has suffered tremendously. Therefore, I would take a look at Bassani; fit/finish/quality is top notch. Whatever you do, stay away from Vance and Hines...

Issues range from bad chrome and welds, to scratched/chipped ceramic coat, to missing hardware, to ill-fitting bracketry that takes massaging to make work, and thin weak heat shields. Customer service is a joke as well, 6-10 week wait if you need a replacement part or have a warranty issue. IMO, this is unacceptable. There are many much better companies to deal with in the exhaust world...
