Alhall88 are those dresser duals that you are running with the fishtails? Bike looks great with the whitewalls and fishtails.

That's a great look, and there's nothing that says Harley like the sound of unbaffled Samson fishtails. Sweet and loud!

I have the V&H fishtails on my Ultra Limited. I love the way they look and sound.

That looks sweet. I am getting ready to put 33" on my 2012 RK. What did you do about the ignition wires under the seat where the pipe runs now? My pipe runs under the bike now but with the new pipes, they will cross over the transmission to get to the left side. Just wondering if you have to move the ignition wire or wrap the pipe.
Thanks.

Fishtails? Absolutely. Fishtails on Harleys remind me of the 30's knucklehead.
