I had them on my '00 Indian Chief and they looked bad ***! Wanted to get them for the RK, but were a little pricey for my budget but I love the look.

if you look in the dictionary, the description for fishtails is "ankle slicers". but they look mighty cool. walk around the back of your bike if you have fishtails and you'll understand after you bandage your ankle or shin/calf, etc.

I'm thinking more on the line of "shin guards are highly recommended"
with the use of these........

I had 33 inch Samson 3 inch fishtails and loved them but not the sound then I ran the CFR's for awhile and loved the sound but missed the classic look of fishtails. So here was my solution, 36 inch mini cholos (Samson) non baffled.

I got some '95 touring mufflers from HD, some fish tail ends, all brand new stuff. I thought they looked great. They were just too quiet for me. I only run them for about 100 miles and gave them to a friend to partially repay him for all the help he gave me. He was really happy to have such a gift, we put them on his Ultra immediately. His wife came in and demanded that they be taken off because they made his bike look like a "N-----R" bike. He took them off and could have returned them but didn't. He is going to sell them.
