Default What pipes are these?

Been thinking of installing some Samsons true dual fishtails/longtails on my 95 FLSTN Special for quite some time, but just discovered these



love the look of these pipes.

Wondering if anybody had any idea what brand these are ? and if you have any feedback into the sound and performance?

Cheers Nick.

Someone else is asking the same question on a similar set. We're working on it.

these Cycle shacks are the closest I could find that are still made. I haven't seen long drags like these in a while.

Ive been googling for a good day now,

the closest i can find are these

http://www.ultimaproducts.com/exhaust.html

not sure that they are identical.

The "Long barrels" look like they have too much of a incline angle at the back end, and the upswept barrels have a slash cut end , but they look like the "closest match", but its hard to tell from the website stock photos.

I cant find any pics of these two pipes on actual bikes. If any body has these pipes on their bikes, would like to see some pics please.

Looks like they could be discontinued Samson's. Judging from a post I saw in Softail section.

This is the response by the Samson tech in the post machinistmate is referring to:

"Hi,
These pipes are some older Samson Big Gun 2 1/4" diameter pipes. They have the heat shields attached which is how I can identify them. Samson did not always stamp the brand name on in the past for cosmetic reasons but these are clearly Samson pipes.
Thank you,
JR"

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

Thanks Bone Doc.

Pity they dont make these any longer, really like the look of these pipes. I,ll have another look at the samson website, if i cant find anything remotely similar looking, will go back to seriously looking into the crossover true duals with longtails.

Thanks again.
