- April 13, 2012, 09:13:36 AMHere are some photos of the mounting hardware. The RH foot peg mount is for a Drifter as it doesn't have the large hole to accept bushings. The bracket looks like a powder coated manufactured piece, not a home built piece (the backside photo revealed a missing bolt!). I think we can rule out V&H for three reasons: 1) no brand stamp, 2) double walled, welded construction, not clamped-on outer chrome, 3) tips are part of the pipes, not add-ons for a different look. Overall, the pipes are very well constructed. I plan on modifying the attaching bracket to incorporate bushings for less vibration & expansion stresses. When I get that done, I'll shoot some pics and instructions.

As to Classic pipes... they may very well be pipes made for the classic. Look at the foot peg and mount. Most of us, who don't want hard mounted pipes, have used classic foot peg brackets and either fab'd a new hanger or bought pipes intended for the classic.Fat pipes are/were sold through Highway Hawk and Phatperformance so they may be on USA bikes.

Kinda' what I was thinking, but V&H usually has their insignia on the pipes.

- April 12, 2012, 10:17:53 AMO.D. on outer pipes is 2.5". I checked again, no stampings anywhere. Pipes have side bolted baffles. The bend of the pipes, especially the front pipe is very similar to Fat Pipes but that brand seems to come up only on European websites and only for 1500 Classics. Hard Kromes don't appear to have the bends at the bottom of the front pipe. Roadhouse is dead so there are no photos to look at and I don't know if they were double-walled.

- April 11, 2012, 18:33:54 PMMy 2005 1500 Drifter has these pipes on it. There is no branding anywhere. Any ideas? I've scoured a lot of sites and installation instructions and can't seem to find a match. One thing to note is the chrome outer pipes are welded, not clamped to the inner pipes. Other brands such as V&H and Cobra mentions installing the outer pipes or heat shield with clamps. No such thing on mine.
