Samson True Duals - Need Input
#11
From their website....
Part #: S-233
Silver Bullet" 33" Straight Fishtail
These are Samson's original fishtail design...no baffles. Had these for a little over 6 years now. If you look at the newer Samson true dual fishtail pipes, the slip-ons area fatter in order to fit baffles. These stay skinny from the header to the fishtail.
Just another option....

I like the length of yours but I gottsa have baffles. My neighbors might not like those late summer nights otherwise...

Mine are the shortest, and they work well for me right now, because I scrape a little coming out of my driveway. Longer ones would probably really drag. That being said, I'll be going longer once I get an airride suspension.
The Longtails look better than the regular fishtails, imo, but either ones have a classic look. That's definitely one thing that Samson got right. Best looking fishtail out there. I love the setup you have, though. I'm not sure I've seen another one like it and it sets you apart and looks great.

Now with all you guys pimpin true duals, I am feeling the peer pressure...lol. You know how it is...keep lookin at something until you want it . Anyway, to make the change worthwile, I am gonna have to probably go at least 33.

I also do like the "cholos" but they are a little long for my taste. But if i had hard bags... the "cholos" would be the chiznet.
Good Luck strat....

I also sent my shotgun back to JD for the mounting modification. He is supposed to ship it Monday so hopefully it will be back by the end of next week too. Takes about 4-5 days from Cali to Ohio via ground. I have the chrome swingarm, calipers, tires and some other chrome goodies already. I am almost out of winter....I need to get my @ss in gear!!!
BTW, how much is that 05 dropped in the front? Can you tell from the vid???
#18
That bikes dropped 2" ...do yourself a favor with your front drop..Go with Progressive.

No $hit ...1 more month then we can start to ride here in KC...My bike hasn't seen the road now for 2 1/2 months....F*kn snow....We had 1.5' of snow on the ground for a month then it finally melts and guess what last nite...more F*kn snow....

Thanks for the tip ...progressive it is. I have really been struggling with how much to drop the front. Finally decided, going 2 inches in the front. I hope I don't completely destroy the ride. WTF, I have an Ultra for ridin the little lady. Might as well go all out on the Deluxe.
This forum is killin my pocket book...lol. I had a bunch of mods planned for my Ultra this winter but those are not going to happen.

I agree with what was said earlier...these are 33's as they look to be the same length as mine.
Now, as for you changing your pipes....Dude think long and hard about it, I think your pipes are sick bud, they are OG and nobody has them. There is something to be said for that.
IMHO, your current pipes have that an even more old school gangster look than true duals...yours go back to the old FL Shovelhead days...I LIKE UM!
I think they set your bike apart from the rest.
Oh, been wanting to ask you for a while now about your sig pic... the 5 window AD Chevy pickup in the picture, would that belong to you!?
