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....
D@mn your bike rocks...

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

Are these 36s or 39s? Are they baffled? They kill on your scoot....not sure if I want to go that long or not. I would definately be raising the @ss end of the bike when coming in and out of the driveway. Othewise it would be dragging bad. I already drag if I dont get my weight off the bike and I am only 210 lbs.

But no big deal, thats what the shotgun is for

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.
I like these a lot...but not enough to make the change. I really like my current Samsons. They are very rare...in fact, they haven't made them in a few years. When they did make them, they were for an EVO. I had to get a different mounting bracket to get them to work. When I bought them I was torn between them and longtails.

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.

Yes agreed, my 28.5" just stick past the rear fender...I think 33" are the perfect length. Sucks because when i bought my pipes they didn't have the new style 33" (fully heat shielded) out yet. They just came out in later 09'.. Only the older style like JayDee's were sold before that.
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 think the 33s are going on my list. They do look kick @ss. But I have to get the rest my winter mods in the done pile first. DNA delayed my wheels and I still haven't received them. They are supposed to be here next week. That will be about 5 weeks. I ordered them before the end of the year.

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???

I have not ridden since November...sucks!!!

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!?
