Default 42" Samson fishtails on the way...

Well I guess it is true what they say. I shoudl have got the longest fishtails they make when I originally ordered. I have decided to go for the 42" fishtails from Samson to replace my 36" version. There is nothing wrong with the 36"'s at all, but I want longer. I want more!

I think the 42"'s will do for now. I have not scraped my 36"'s except coming out of my driveway with the bike slammed so i am not concerned about the 42"'s.

I think I know how women feel now. They want jsut a few more inches. LOL. I'll post pics and isntall info once I get them on which is hopefully this week.

You are insane. You must think that its your responsibility to single-handedly support the aftermarket industry, but you really have done your part, my friend.

They say they won't but they do. Truckbizz has them on his bike. As far as my insanity on changing things on my bike, yes, I am insane. I jsut can't leave it alone. I keep trying to save enough to get a new bike but I spend all the cash before I save enough. Go figure. It gives me something to do and it is work related. LOL.

At what point do you have to start tieing red rags on the end of the pipes to keep people from tripping over them or running into them. Just Kidding, they will look great. I with you, let's spend our way out of this recession.
