Default What y'all think of these

Not trying to start an exhaust thread and I know fishtails are not everyone's cup of tea. I've wanted fishtails since I bought my bike but wanted to keep the performance and tune that my rinehart 3.5's give. I had these fab'd up and still need to have them chromed.

What y'all think of the look. I'm thinking of shortening them a bit

Not for me but you know I do admire someone who can see it in their minds eye and makes it happen. Cool.

Wow, you do know that you are going to have to be very careful where you park that thing! I can see people tripping on those in a crowded area.
