Default Samson Fishtail photo comparison

I dug up some older photos of my Bike. I've had almost all the different length Samson fishtail pipes on it over the years. I've posted pictures of the bike with 28", 33", and 39" fishtail-longtail pipes for those who need help deciding on what length is best for them.

I know there is a lot of questions regarding what length to get so I hope this helps...making the right choice from the get go will save you a lot of money! Don't ask me how I know this .

28" Samson Silver Bullet fishtails



33" Samson Silver Bullet fishtails



39" Samson Longtail Cholo's

Cool...True Duals are hard to beat! Of course I am a bit biased .

I figured posting the different lengths on the same bike would give people the best examples of how they will look.

Sometimes when you see different lengths on different bikes it's hard to tell just how different they look.
