Cool FishTail Slip-ons

Just joined and have a question? A couple of months ago I brought a 08' Ultra Classic and I am thinking about Vance & Hines fishtail slip-ons. I would like to know if anyone has them, and how do they sound and if anyone has pictures. Or does anyone have any other suggestions for slip-ons. The stock pipes are too quiet.

Thanks,

BigMike

Welcome aboard. V&H make good slip ons, sorry don't have any pics with fishtails. Rush slip ons are a good bang for the buck also and sound good to boot.

I had Samson's on an 88ci and I was happy at idle...but...but those that followed me said there was a ping in my pop...irritated me to no end so I bought straight threw Fish tails same ping to my pop I gave up. NO MORE FISH TAILS FOR ME... I wish you good fortunes if you try them though.

Welcome from PA

I have heard and seen the Vance & Hines fish tails and they are plenty loud. Good looking pipe. A good choice if looking for fish tails.

Go to a Bike Night somewhere. When you hear something you like, ask the guy(or gal) what they are. That's how I picked mine. My buddy has the V&H fishtails, they're loud. I bought the Ovals, only loud when you get on it. My $.05 worth.
