Default Fishtail poll
Just powdercoated my heat shields and they are starting to bubble near the front head. I know my powdercoater will re-do them but I may want to go with black coated fishtails. Does anyone know if any companies make black or do I have to buy chrome and get them coated. What do you guys think?

I've always liked fishtails, looks and the sound, not the best on performance but they have attitude.

Samson makes a set that are black. I dig the look of fishtails and I think they would look sweet on your horse.

I'm going to disagree with most....

I like the sweepers... it gives the bike more of a lowdown mean look...
IMO they flow well with the beach bars...

Fishes have there place.... I just don't think on your ride

the powder is bubbling...... is there a High-temp available??
