Default Fishtails on the Road Queen

Momma wanted different pipes on her ride. Old ones, not sure of brand, chrome peeling badly, they looked and sounded like crap. So what momma wants, momma gets! 16 Road Kin, Queen!

Always did like fishtails, the white wall tires, and paint scheme.

Looks good. I've got the skinny fishtails with cut down baffles., 36 inchers, on my EG. Along with 14 inch bars. It definitely doesn't sound like most the other Harleys around here.

That was the very first thing to go off mine. To each their own but beware of them when you walk behind the bike. They can really put a gouge in your shin.

I have never really been a fish tail guy. But that is one sharpe looking bike there. I think because you have the fish tails up tight to the saddle bags they don't look out of place. Most of the ones you see out there they have extra long pipes and then the fish tails on the end of them. I just do not like that look.

Let momma know that SOS pads work wonders on white walls. They will make them look like new.

Very nice. Perhaps mama can get the chrome wheels like yours next for more of an old skool look. Gravel roads can be a bit nasty on Harley parts and these docking hardware covers can help some to keep them clean. They're a bit cheaper on
Jeff Bezos' Jeff Bezos'
site.

Hogworkz has them for the same price if you prefer not to give your money to Bezos.
