Not a big fan of fishtails, but for some reason they look awesome on the Road King. Must be the nostalgic look of the bike. Great combo IMO.

thinking of getting some fishtails to replace my VH Ovals for the classic look. Any recommendations? I dont want to get much louder than the ovals. Will probably need to remap my PCIII as well. What y'all think
I just noticed the Howard's Horn on your bike. I've been thinking of getting a set but hadn't seen any on RK's...until yours. They look Great![sm=smiley20.gif]

mchacon - let us know how you like them (with pictures if possible). Love that Classic!

Would you consider starting another thread and talk to us about your horns? They are lookin' good!

I kinda like my sharkfins. Not very much louder than stock, but they bark when ya get on it.

I think the Sampson fishtail straight pipes look best on the roadkings. The tail sticks out nice behind the bags. I never thought it was too loud unless you are crankin it. Between the narrow oppening and the end sitting behind the bags, its not as loud as you think for the driver. (cant speak for those riding behind me)

fishtail tips are restrictive and will quieten you a bit.
They not only quiten but I lost power and had bad throttle response.
