Default Flipped the Fish Tail
Had fishtails on before I painted and changed the bike and then I took them off. Pipes looked kind of unfinished without them. Put them on flipped and like it. I know it's not a new idea but it's funny how it works with the new look of the bike but I didn't like them that way before. No pics yet. Anyone else got em that way?

Not a bad look and if it pleases you then it's twice as nice.

Your ride is very cool but I do prefer the fishtails in the normal orientation.
