I've got a similar set up. These pipes are one of Samson's new sets. Got it installed a couple weeks ago. Picture is before I got the Bags and Lowers on. Great Sound, loud when you want them to be but quiet enough to keep the neighbors happy when you pull in. Install took a couple hours and was fairly simple. Much easier than getting my thunderheaders off.

I have not heard them yet but the shape of them almost look like Rineharts...almost...which sound really good.

With your styled bike i think fishtails wouldn't look right, as BIGSMOOTH has mentioned. But thats my opinion also. You got that bagger/touring thing goen on of which those new black Samson's would look great on your bike...

Only person i've seen on this forum who has them is SD_NICK...his bike is very simular to yours. Ask him im sure he could answer all your questions...he actually has a thread goen on at this time about them.

Default Get a wrench

I put the Samson true dual on my ride just a few months ago. Installation was easy. The instructions are well written, the parts are good quality and mine are the 28" and sound great. The only suggestion I can provide is to get a cheap 1/2" combo wrench and torch a 90~100 degree bend in it. This was the best way I could tighten the aft flange nut on the rear jug. Once you install it, you'll see You might even learn some new French. lol

I appreciate your comments and advises. Thanks a lot.

I just ordered the new Samson in Ceramic Black.

They are really great and for sure will fit perfectly with the style of my bike.

You're right : the new Samson will fit perfectly. Thanks.
