I'd like to see that too. Never seen a Sportster with exhaust on both sides.

You will have to have a pipe fabbed to go down the left side. The fish tails would look fine tho. Even if you stagger them on one side.

a pipe on both sides of the rear tire could be pretty sweet.

Just thought about this, the old cafe racer had pipes down both sides, you might want to look into that. Since you have access to a tool/die shop, fabbing something up should be semi-easy.
