Default True Dual With Fishtails
I'm looking for opinions on available true duals with fishtails. Freedom, Vance & Hines, Samson? Others?

Vanceand Hines makes a nice set...and i think they would look great on your ride...since your other posting said you were going for that nostalgic look

Some of the differences you may find is if the Baffles are removable or not. I know on the Vance and Hines they are but I think on the Samsons they are not.

May not be a big deal but if you want to change the sound level removable baffles come in handy.

Have you heard of Freedom Performance?
They are in Gardena.
I was considering all of the ones you mentioned as well but I was referred to Freedom and can not be happier.
True duals with fishtails and removable baffles.
Sound REAL good!

I'm running Samson's but have to agree with Softaildeluxe, Freedom makes a great set of true duals...they look and sound sick!

I went with V&H and quiet baffles, we wanted to hear the tunes. I wanted bigger bags and this seemed like a good exhaust choice. I am satisfied with them.
