Default Samson Fishtails for 2014 Deluxe

Is anyone else having trouble getting this exhaust for their Deluxe? I ordered the 39 inch cholos in Dec and shipping date keeps getting pushed.

Recently, other forum members have voiced their concerns about delays in receiving Samson pipes. You aren't the only one.

My recommendation would be to speak with the company you purchased them from. Recruit their help to find out the reason for the delay.

Samson is a respected vendor on this forum. Their user name is Samson tech. Another alternative is to send them a private message by clicking on the link below to further inquire about your order.

They moved from the west coast and reloacted to Sturgis. It seems like they have not been the same company ever since. As bone doc said, you are not the only one having trouble. I would also go over them VERY closely once you do get them and before you install them. I'm not saying they are bad, just that they don't seem to be the same.

Ultranosls, I too ordered those pipes from Samson a few months back and the ship date keep getting bumped. I finally called Samson and canceled my order and went with V&H, I had my pipes in less than a week. They are not as long as I wanted but they sound awesome on the bike.

I ordered 42's Dec 6th. I ended up getting 39's because I was tired of waiting and got them the end of January so it wasn't that bad but still.

bakoOil82, I know this doesn't make it right but I am betting, and I am not a betting man, that you would like these more then the 42" pipes.

I got a pair of Samson slipons (fishtails) off Amazon, they are the 28" ones, but I didn't realize they don't fit stock pipes and you need the whole Samson exhaust. So they are for sale unused if anybody wants to PM me.
