Ahh yes - fishtails! Actually, I think SHARKFINS would be a better title! I have the SE Street Performance Touring Mufflers with Fishtail endcaps and absolutely love them! The mufflers have a deep, deep, deep rumble - about twice as loud as stock - and the style is fantastic!


I have the same pipes with Fullsac dual convertions, very nice sound, not to loud, not to quiet. Even better when full throttle.

I love the look of my H-D SE fishtails but not the sound. These tails have the sweetest formed opening of any I've seen but not as sweet sounding as mountainkowboy says his are. Maybe mine are not the Street Performance ones?

Put V&H TD's w/fishies on the wife's Heritage. They sound great, look even better and are just quiet enough to run under the radar when the LEO's are close by. You're gonna like 'em.

I've seen a set of tips in the J&P catalog that attach to the stock mufflers as well. Been considering them. The stock mufflers on the '10 suit me for noise level.

I have the Screamin Eagle mufflers with interchangeable tips.
I use the fishtails most of the time, but put my slant cut tips on
now and then. You can tell when the slant cut tips are on as the sound
will be a little louder, I think the fishtails keep the sound behind you more.
