Fishtail Help
I am really ready for some fishtails ~ My problem is I don't want them to be much longer than the saddlebags and must be slightly shorter than the rear fender. I'm having a hell of a time getting info on the length I'll need. I tried searching, so please excuse me if there is already a thread here that I missed. I've called a few retailers and they are mostly no help. Help an old man find the right length please!

I have Samson 28.5" pipes on my Heritage. They are essentially fender tip length.
Samson does make 23.5" pipes. If am not mistaken, Vance and Hines' shortest pipes are 28.5".
Hope this helps.

Hello Jcsshane,
You would definitely want 23.5" fishtails to have them end at that point. Here is a picture of 23.5" ones for reference:
Thank you,

I'm with Doc. The 28.5" are what I have also. End right at the rear fender.
