Default Fishtails baby!

OK folks, after 4-5 hours and some bruised knuckles the Samson fishtails are on. As discussed by others on here, Samson's instructions leave something to be desired although their pipes are awesome. I went with the 33" non-baffled variety. They are damn loud but I really like them.

Thanks. The next phase will get more costly. Wheels and tires. Undecided yet on the bars. The chrome low profile center console is also on my shopping list. I'm trying to balance modifying with doing a lot of riding.

I hear that! Nice looking D-Lux! I want the low profile console for mine as well but it says the new combo speedo/tach won't fit in it & I really want to add a tach to mine. Choices, choices, choices(and a buttload of $$$)!
