I like 'em. I had fishtails on mine but went with the 2-1 for performance when I did the engine build.

I'd leave the fishtails on, but either way that bike looks great!

For what it's worth I'll agree with a few statements. I really dont like fishtails and would never personally get them, but ya know ...on your bike they look awesome! Much better with I would say.

Once you see the bike with and without, something looks missing with them off
