I have a set of vance and hines long shots on my 800 drifter. I had a set of stock pipes for my wifes 1100 sabre sitting around, and someone on craigslist was looking to trade his new longshots for a set of stock pipes for his sabre because he didnt like "the noise". I cut my muffler off where it mates to the headpipes, wrapped some shimstock around the stock headpipe tubes and slipped on the longshots. I used the stock clamps from the longshots and had to make a hanger strap to attach the longshots bracket to the drifter, and then had to slip a stainless hoseclamp through the top heatsheild mount [It blends so well you wont notice]. They sound a lot better than the stock muffler that the previous owner had drilled out, and the diameter is the same as the stock heatsheilds. Since they were "free" I bought the vance and hines viper tips to direct the exaust soot away from the rear fender. The previous owner had already rejetted the carb so it was all done at that point. they look like they came that way, and they extend to the end of the fender.

I've been thinking about doing what you've described for a while. I have some B&G straight pipes that I was gonna cut up and have welded to the headers and then just heat wrap em' but your saying you just clamped the the pipes together? And are you sure that the previous owner re-jetted? Do you have a photo of your bike? Thanks

FYI - like the 1500, any pipes made for the 800 CLASSIC will fit the 800 drifter with the addition of the right rear footpeg bracket.

I don't know of any for the 800, natively. I expect you can mod some in the same fashion as the 1500.

Looking for a dual aftermarket exhaust that extends to the end of the bike. Any suggestions?
