Default Fishtail slipon straight pipes 06 SG--WORKED!

I'm having trouble finding any fishtail slipon for my '06 FLHXI with V&H dresser dual headers. I think they are 1 3/4".
#16729
I don't want any baffle and have latest PCIII usb installed so I can adjust as needed.
I love the look and sound of em!
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thank you in advance!!

Hoping for something like this:

Thank you 97FLHT!
Been reading the whole site..... got serious case of TMI.
THUNDER MONSTERS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH FUEL INJECTION!
Much controversy (and apparent confusion) surrounds the issue of exhaust "back-pressure". Many performance-minded people who are otherwise knowledgeable still cling tenaciously to the old school concept.... "You need more back-pressure for better performance."
There are so many varying ideas on what is right for any application. I was told by a trusted friend and HD mech. that fishtails or any open pipe will not work with my FLHXI. Fuel injection being the key , even tho I don't have O2 sensors to worry about. He refused to sell them to me saying he did'nt want to create unhappy customer. I've aslo heard the exact opposite. samsom m-128's 33in 1 1/34 seem to be the best fit/length for my bike. Being 1 piece pipes, no baffle can be installed.
There is so much controversy and speculation, it appears to me they just want to take one more juicy wet bite outta my A$$. Seems no straight up answers....
I just don't have the dough to play around til I get it right.. For time being I do nada.... sucks too!

Saw a company called Freedom selling them at the lONG BEACH swap meet in cali.
They had slip ons with the fishtail for $300 installed. I'm doing it next time Im there.
The pipes are the same size as the header pipes and they also sell a baffle for inside in case they are too loud or you get a ticket.
Google em! They are in southern california maybe Los angeles area.

I am glad to hear this helped. I have a best friend with a 2002 police fuel inject roadking he installed the baffles first. they work perfectly. I love to hear all the spectulation We have all been there at some point I know these truely work...first hand. The dealers hate drag pipes of any kind, I believe its because of a lacking of knowing how to resolve the poping issue on decel. Like I said earlier this is called a baffle, however its not what everyone expects.

For everyone else follow the link above in my earlier post everyone will benefit from this. In the spirit of this forum thats why we are here. We all can guess or we all can follow something that is proven by fellow riders...I chose the later. I consider this thunder city baffles fact I have witnessed about ten bikes all with different systems with these installed all with positive results.

ITS A MUST HAVE FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!

Thank you every one!

Domestic Violence,
Thank you for selling and shipping them to me
You RAWK!
WHOLLY F'in SH*T! They are loud!
Installed torque cones with them and bike runs perfect!
Was running a little rich before, now seems to have balanced out..
Took about 2 hrs. complete. Torque cones, drop diameter at the head to 1 1/2in, new exhaust gaskets (thinner than stock) $20.
They are 33in 1 3/4 samson fishtails.
Just took em out for 10 miles, have not noticed any drop in torque/HP in the top or bottom end. Not hard to keep em quite.
Idle is same, temp is same.

Finally a ME bike!
Just want the 21in 3.5 dual brake spoke front wheel now.
