Every one of the Drifters had one from the factory, so there must be some out there...they couldn't have all evaporated. After 3 years of hunting, I found a complete system with less than 1,000 miles on it. It's in Texas, and I bought it for $150...I have a Cobra pipe, which I modified with rubber mountings and an extra heat shield, but now, after 32,000 miles, it's getting quite loud. I wanted a stocker from the beginning. When I bought the bike it had the V&H pipes with no baffles, and I was embarrassed to ride it. The Cobra pipe was the only thing I could find, and it was pretty quiet at first. I modified the intake system to let in MUCH more air, and now the Cobra pipe is quite loud, and has a "crack" sound about 4,000 rpm and up. It sounds pretty good in the short run, but the noise gets wearing after a whole day's riding. When I get the system installed, I'll post some pics and maybe a sound file of both systems...kinda a before and after....
