Default samson true dual system....

hi guys,

Need some advice/input. About to purchase a set of samson true dual fishtail exhausts for my heritage softail, my question is: does each pipe come with a heat shield to prevent showing 'blueing' of the pipe? particularly on the left hand side?

Apologies for the stupid question, but hardly anyone stocks samson here in the UK, so im unable to view before i buy, other than on the website.

Also , fishtail or longtail???? opinions please.

sure do...both side full heat shielded....nice pipes!

100% longtails........."longtails" are pointed top and bottom and "fishtails" are only pointed at top and go straight down.

I talked to someone last year at Samson and they told me they were discotinuing the "fishtail" version.

Bought mine through American Classic Motor for $524.00 shipped! last year.

Default longtails

I checked American Classic before i placed my order and they were no where near that 524 dollar make for a full system. I paid $705.00 for a set of 36 inch mini cholos with a chrome flange kit and shipping included from a close friend., I do not think you will find them for less than seven hundred and may not even be able to find them at that price. I should have mine installed by the weekend plan on working on them Thursday evening or Friday when i have the day off
