I have a set of Samson Silver Bullet Fishtails on a Road King Custom with hard bags. It should have a similar look as your Streetglide. I'll e-mail you a picture.

Default Fishtails

I found the samson, (which have a non-removable baffle) to be a little "harsh" to my liking. I bought some Khrome Werks drag pipe baffles and cut/fit/wrapped them in fiberglass and fit them into the muffler from the head pipe end. Sound is much improved and deeper.

I got them on my 08 street glide, they look sharp! I got them because i like that style, not because of performance. They are pretty loud, although if your looking for a deeper sound you might want to go with a different pipe. Look dumb? Well i guess thats your opinion. I've seen a lot of bikes with **** i wouldnt put on my bike, but i wouldnt call it dumb. Its there style.

yah not for performance. I was told that if you put the torque cones in, you get some of that power back.
