Those look sweet -- can you get them w/out the fishtail caps? I think the true duals look great on the Heritage, they fit the bike and the look. Have fun man!
You could order true dual crossovers (S-230) No fishtails ... BTW: Wife completely LOVES and sound but HATES the fishtails.

I think they have newer true dual cross overs that are not listed S-330.
SMSgt B, how did the install go? Give some details on the install.

Install was pretty straight forward but it took me almost 6 hours total time of removal and installation. Some key points if you plan on doing it yourself:

1. Make sure you setup your new bent shifter rod prior to installing the left side.
2. Take your right footboard off and loosen the rear brake bracket...makes it easier.
3. No need to remove passenger footboards
4. You have to remove 2 plastic covers on the left side where you mount the rear bracket (exactly opposite of the right side exhaust mount). Those darn things are a bare to get
out.
I ended up just tearing off the top and pushing them threw the back side.
5. It took me a long time because I tried to hide the heat shield clamps as much as I could...this put them in some real tight spots. Looking back..just mount the darn things where
you can get to them EASY

All-in-all, great fit and excellent sound and completely happy.

I will get some better pics after I install some more stuff and clean it.

V/r

Look great, they go with the overall theme of the bike.

With fishtails it seems you love them or hate them. Your bike is looking good. I will be waiting for the better pics.
Fishtails and sert will probably be my last mod.

Can't say enough for fishtails on a heritage. Saw the duals on a heritage springer and could not settle for anything else (actually wanted to buy the springer but.... ) Any way nice bike!

Very nice and (IMO) a much better look.
