Default Fishtail Slipons

I am in the market for some Fishtail Slipons. Would like something with a deep sound. Which ones do you recommend?

I had the hollow ones on my Heritage Springer and they were awesome. I had no problems setting off car alarms.

Back pressure is a good point. I put in the torque cones when I put on the hollow ones.

HD SE's. Only got about 50 miles on them before winter hit and I parked it. Nice sound, not too loud, just right for me.

Check out this link for pic's and a video. Note: the wife TRIED to help by reving it. Tried is the key word there.

See now I think that is one thing about fish-tails, they look better on "old school" type bikes like RK's and Springers like XXX's. Nice color orange, I literally missed out by minutes on a orange and silver RKC before I bought my EGC.

Black Bagger, you're right about backing up to curbs, got to watch it closer. Like I said, I barely got to ride it after I put those on.

SuperTrapp SE's with the fish-tail tips. The sound is about 3dB over stock. They look great and sound great.
