Gene, maybe you might go with a custom made exhaust.
Like this one I've gone for ma-deuce.

  Pizza Man; how are you doing. Buddy I have not seen a set of dual pipes that go on both sides of the 800, I have seen one that is not a working model, and the left side pipes are not actual working exhaust. There is not enough room for the pipes to go under the bike unless it is really thin or narrow.
You might have to go to a different exhaust set up or manufacture your own set up.....

is it the fishtail end that sticks up too high?  I have seen exhaust sets with one end (the upper one) shorter than the other.  this would definitely be in the way of the bags.  When I mounted mine bags with the 2 roadburner pipes on one side, I left about 1" between the bag and the upper pipe and the sit nicely, especially when I put my big butt down on the seat..but I don't have the fishtail tips...

I have seen one dual exhaust setup on a drifter 800...they snaked the front cylinder exhaust around the front of the bike and ran it down the left side...in my opinion it looked AWFUL...totally ruined the lines of the bike...but hey, that's just my humble opinion.

the only option I can see is to extended the pipes enough that the bag clears the tips on the right side.....if anyone else has any ideas, please let Zoar know....I want happy customers

Okay, so I bought hard bags for my 2002 Drifter 800 and I bought the nice attachment assembly by one of the members here... But now I have a major issue:

My dual pipes are TOO TALL.

I cannot mount the hard bags LOW on the bike. With the dual pipes and especially the fish tail ends it is impossible to mount these bags unless the stick up so high they look IDIOTIC.

I cannot look idiotic.

Ideally I would get pipes that run very LOW and straight back, one on EACH SIDE.  I have seen these types of pipes on other bikes, but never saw such a dual exhaust on each side on a Drifter 800.

Any help?
