Default Samsons flipped?!?!?

I was thinking about mounting my fishtails upside down. Has anyone seen or heard of anybody doing this? I think it would look good. What do yall think?

Google some images. That should tell how many have done it and see what it looks like.

It seems they will scrape easier of flipped as well as they will be lower to the ground. If it was not for that I'd go flip mine right now.

A buddy of mine flipped them on his Cross bones by accident when he installed them. He liked it soo much he left it. It looked good and he didn't scrape but his bike wasn't lowered.

I could actually see someone flipping a set of V&H fishtails since their not worth **** anyways. It would probably help the looks of them. But, for the love of God. Don't ruin a set of Samsons.

They could be, but thinking in about a month they'll be ground down to where they need to be.
Or U pipes will be bent upward.


Let us know how this DIY engineering works for Ya.

How about sideways?

No. Seriously. Don't do sideways. That was just a joke.
