- August 21, 2017, 09:25:31 AMQuote from: OR Seedman on August 16, 2017, 13:08:08 PMI think the problem is the fishtail and the fact the pipes are just too high. Even if I extend the pipes or take off the fish tail I think that top pipe is HIGH, making the bags would sit too high.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
The only other pipes I have seen that seem to sit lower are the Road Burners, but they are so FREAKIN LOUD and make BIG CRACKING BLATS! I could not stand that FREAKIN noise!
I would accept two pipes on one side of even ONE both going into ONE pipe if it sat lower than my fish tails/with or without the top fin. (And putting stock pipes are out because they sound terrible in my opinion).
Are there other pipes out here other after market than Road Burner that sit low and have a deep sound, but not CRACKING LOUD noise?

Those kind of pipes could be good for the mod.

backpressure, I know nothing about this and so was just asking......and if you look close at the picture you posted the 1500 has lots of room to make this mod, the 800 has no or next to no room for a mod like that ......

- August 19, 2017, 08:01:23 AMI do agree with Ratman: the 800 has got no (or next to) room underneath the rear portion of the frame.
Maybe, a flat pipe could be good to cross it...

- August 18, 2017, 15:18:54 PMNow back to Zoar's question, and if I am incorrect then please be gentle in telling me. Zoar wants a exhaust on both sides of his 800.
So I have seen all these bike building, custom chopper, shows and they build their own exhaust systems to fit the bike. So if Zoar has access to an exhaust place why can he not get them to build a system that would fit under the 800 and not be super large and can be narrow or thin in build.

If he doesn't have any I'm pretty sure I can just improvise something from some other brand of bars.Contact GreenBarn he has a set of them and think he is selling them worth the ask

As Ol' Drifter posted, they're Ted Design's.
I bought them a couple of years ago and I'm really happy, 'cause they're really well made.
They were originally for the 2up seat, but I wanted them together with the solo seat, so I just flipped them upside down and then added a junction bar at their lower end... As someone already said, it's just italian ingenuity...

Sad to say, he retired and is no longer making them.Did you make the rear highway/crash bars that you have on your bike or is there someplace a man can buy them?

Like this one I've gone for ma-deuce.

- August 16, 2017, 17:41:11 PM 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.....
