Default Pulled the trigger on the 36" fishtails...

Well, after several weeks of deliberating on if I should get some longer fishtails, and selling the shorter set I had yesterday, I did it. The main thing that convinced me was meeting someone who had a set of 36" fishtails. He explained to me that you can slide them in the head pipes a bit further so that they do not stick back quite so far. Obviously the limiting factor is the left side pipe with the bend in it. Those who have made this possible know who they are. Thank you!

I guess I'll be waiting for a Dyno until these come in and my BCT baffles. The countdown is on as it is with every new mod that is done.

Please post pics ASAP! My wife saw a set of fishtails last week on a Road King and without prompting commented on how good they looked. I've always liked the look, maybe she'll get me a set for my birthday in August?

I don't how long it will be until they arrive as I just ordered them today. I figure a couple of weeks and they should be here.
