I just counted and I have 10 different end cap sets for the Kerker/Supertrapp/SE pipes ! What a maroon I am ! I have 5 of the slip ons as well. I should sell you a pair with the fishtails cheap.

Default re: fishtails

I wish that I could put rocket tails / fish tails on my Rinehart 3.5 slip-on's.
I really like the look. Does anyone know if its possible?

Jammerx, yes they were new and they sound great. I like them a lot. The sellers name is s0rgys. He has some up on eBay now if you are interested.

If that link doesn't work, just search for road king fishtails. I think he has like 5 sets up right now.

I also took off my stock headers and put a set of 09 headers on because they don't have the cats in them. After that was when the fish tails really sounded like fishtails.

I wanted to do the same thing, but have not done it yet.
I can tell you that I took off both sets of tips, and the harley rocket tails
are the same size as the rinehart endtips, (3.5") They do slip right on.
But the mounting holes are not the same. They don't line up with the holes in the rinehart pipes.
It could be done by drilling new holes in the rockets, and use bolts to mount them.
Or, if you are really good, drill and tap the rockets to accept some
chrome button head bolts.

It looked like I could easily drill a couple of new holes, and use bolts.
It might be a little tricky getting the nuts on inside the tips, but I'm sure it can be done. Just use a box end wrench with some tape to hold the nut in place.

There's just something about fishtails and whitewalls ! The Kings looks sweet with em. I will put the fishtail tips on my street cannons and white wall tires when I replace them. Then I would need tubeless wire spoke wheels and then if I could find one of those big old single seats with the metal rail backrest ! Thinking new/old school on a street glide !

Thank you! Those bars are 16" LA Choppers Slim *****. I just switched those bars out for some Carlini Gangsta apes.
