Default Fishtails.....

I need to see some pix of your bike with fishtails. I want to go old school but can't get a clear picture in my mind what they would look and sound like. Been back and forth between the Samson slip-ons and the V&H dresser duals.

All pix and ideas would be appreciated.

V&H Fishtail II's... they aren't quite however I wish they had a bit deeper sound. Been told to take the baffles out and put a set of BCT QQ baffles in the head pipes???

I had the V&H fishtails on my Heritage springer. They sound good and better than stock.
So I decided to order the same ones for my RK classic

Sorry, my avatar doesn't really show my fishtails but, I use Samson muffler fishtails. They look good (imo) but really sound nice once they get broken in.
Here's a link to show them off better.
