Thank you,

The pipes in the other post look very similar to the those in the picture nickvango posted here.

I realized that and that is rather obvious. Still, that doesn't mean that yours and his weren't made by the same manufacturer. The heat shields appear alike and they are both bent up approximately 30* and straight cut. Aside from the length, they are very similar. I was simply elaborating on the reference machinistmate made and offering a possible answer to nickvango's inquiry.

Thanks again.
They are great looking pipes. In fact, that Heritage they're on is quite a ride. Another option is to try and locate a private seller via Craig's List or Ebay.

If you do elect to go with the Samson true dual crossover fishtails or longtails, you'll be quite happy. I have a set of Samson 28.5" TD crossover fishtails (model S3-431) on my Heritage (below). Samsons are made very well, have a show chrome finish and the sound is phenomenal.





Let us know how the hunt goes and what you decide.

Owner has replied to my email enquiry to the brand/make of these pipes.

They are "Samson big guns 10 degree up sweeps" which are no longer made.

Damn!! Why is it when they make good items they discontinue??

Oh well, looks like the Samson True Dual 33" Longtails are the pipes next on the list.

Thanks for all the responses guys.

Cheers from Down Under.

Just found these on Ebay. Not sure they are exactly what you want, but thought I'd pass it along.
