Thanks dude. The more I look at it I think the Samson 33's are the right choice for my bike. Thanks for the compliment on the bars. They're Wild 1 Chubby 550 beach bars. Slightly exaggerated, but not as much as some. So, I think the 33's fit the same description.

Check out the Samson Longhorns, both pipes run back on the same side and the longer top pipe is curved in at the end so the fishtails don't touch. If you want to be different at bike nights this is it with the same samson sound. The Samson website picture does't do them justice but I took the chance anyway, put them on my deluxe and I'm glad I did. Again it has the fishtails so you either like them or you don't.

Doghair, what's that exhaust on your bike? Looks like a 2 into 1 with fishtail muffler. What brand? Any more pics?

Nevermind. I looked at your garage pics. Looks really good.

And I see your exhaust is Roadhouse Classic 2:1, and you say they are out of business. I really like it. I also see I have the same MetalArts horn as you. Good taste!

Is that a Kerker? I like the dogleg rear header.

Thanks mcpastor. There are still a couple of the Roadhouse left on shelves if you look around, probably not for too long. You'd be boned if there were parts missing or damage though.

LOVE FISH TAILS. They should come factory on Heritages and Deluxes. I have 33's on mine and my left leg doesnt get hot at all. Like the Samsons better because of the bend of the left pipe. V&H just go straight down. JMHO
