fishtails

Those are not true fishtail caps, an most but not all advertised on evil bay are what is called, rocket tips, but seller calls them fishtails to reel ya in.

Many people and many sellers call them fishtails, aint so.

I have several sets, one new from Samson, and its a different breed of cat than those pictured. I had a set of softail fishtails, from Harley on my previous trike and fell in love, such a lovely sound, not too harsh like my fishtails that i had in my wreck.

The Samsons are probably same same, loud, not a lovely throaty sound, but i have toyed with the idea of installing baffles wrapped in fiberglass or whatever would give them a good sound for many miles.

Soooo i think they be rockets, not fishtails that Ive know and loved, but hey, they still look good and there's a set on evil bay that ive considered, $97.50 free shipping, its a deal compared to the rest at a much higher price, fishtails forever, forever fishtails. :clapping:

Notice the top pic is rockets, the bottom pic is fishtails. And so it goes.

Top ones are for staggered duals. Bottom one piece for touring as evidenced by the mounting points. The ones for the Street Cannon mufflers are simply one of many different tips available for the SC mufflers from the MoCo in the P&A catalog. I for one don't put much stock in the ones on the bay unless they are factory takeoffs
