Default fishtail tips...

Hi All,
I have a 2000 Road King Classic with a set of "Cycle Shack" pipes on her.
They are slash cut and 10.5" outside diameter.
Any suggestions on what might fit or your input is welcome.
Thanks for your time
Wayneo

Did you wrap a tape around the muffler? 10.5" circumference is about 3 3/8" diameter. Are the cycle shacks one piece pipes/mufflers? Pictures?

10.5 diameter? Cycle Shacks I'm familiar with are 3" OD. 10.5 would be a gallon paint can give-or-take.
are you asking if you can put fishtail tips on your slash cut mufflers? you're better off buying set of mufflers. .... assuming they are slip-ons (HD head pipes) there are plenty of choices out there.

He said 1.0 circumference, not diameter.

Fellows,
I was just wondering if there were fishtail tips that would cover the slash cut and give me the look I wanted.
I appreciate your time, as one gent said its just as easy to replace the muffler with slip ons that end with a fish tail.
I hope your travels always have a "happy ending".
All the best

I'm sure someone makes something. I would search ebay or check JP cycles.
Good luck to you, ride safe
