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

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

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)
