Default Upswept Fishtails for 1994 Softail Custom???
Just p/u bike, and want to change the Hooker Forbidden pipe....looking for old school look, Upswept Fishtails the goal, but having trouble finding any for the older Softails? Can anyone suggest any brands to look at? Any help greatly appreciated!
Also any suggestions on if mini-apes will work with stock bar wiring? IF so how high can I go?
Tks in advance

The Samson upsweeps are nice, I have 16,000 miles on mine and they still look new.

You may have to fab some brackets but a lot of Evo and TC Softail pipes interchange. I got these off ebay for $40.

The bigger diameter pipes 2 1/4" (Samson's) will provide superior exhasut flow and power.

Nope... I like both Paughco and Samson's, the diameter may be different (just the heatshields coverin the actual pipe) the pipes, specially being 2-2 don't respond (performance-wise) to a "the bigger diameter, the better", exhaust flow I agree, but that lacks of back-pressure which leads to loss of torque.

Mimo.
