Been thinking of putting Samson Fishtails on my RK (2011).
I'm leaning towards the longer ones??

the longer they are the more gangster they look, also the more likely you are to drag them in the corners or jam them on a curb or something. this one is lowered and has extended bags, but i think you get the idea.

I am leaning towards the shorter ones. I already have issues with space backing up in my garage.

I plan on putting these on a 2001 FLHRCI with stock pipes and air cleaner. I will need to get the bike tuned and a new breather for it correct?

Love the long ones, especially with extended bags. They're not nearly as pratical as the shorter ones, which would be another good reason to run them.

I have fishtails on my bike but I chose the V&H pipes due to the heatshield covering most of the muffler so no discoloring shows.

I'm mobbing the 39" had the 36" and the 38" IMO should have gotten the 39" from the get go they sound mean and they don't scrape like you would think

My first thought was short now after the pics I prefer the long ones. I've been tossing around getting fishtails for mine too. Think I wanna get extended bags first though.
