Troll I wouldn't recommend using one whole to hold that tip on myself , but I'd say turn it and drill another hole if that's the look you like . After all if you can place the hole on the inside or underneath no one will ever see it any way . For the price you STOLE the tip for , you'll definitely get your money back if you ever decided to sell it .... holes or not

- April 27, 2014, 13:59:39 PMTroll, how about making your own slash cut tip, oriented the way you want? I did that on my V&H Longshots as they didn't offer the tips I wanted. I took a piece of exhaust tubing the same size as the pipe on the bike, cut my tips to about a 160* angle, then took a 3" piece of exhaust tubing one size smaller, slipped it inside my tip about 1" or so and welded it from the inside(through the outlet end of the tip) slipped it inside the muffler, marked the hole, drilled the hole a bit oversize then welded a nut inside that piece, painted high-temp black, done. Couldn't find a pic on my laptop of the pipe with tip installed, but the pic attached shows it somewhat.
Just a thought.

- April 27, 2014, 13:15:13 PMI hear ya on that, but my factory exhaust is so modded anyway one more hole made no difference to me.
I, too, was surprised and disappointed it was a side dump.

- April 27, 2014, 12:43:13 PMI hear ya...I'm just a little disappointed that it's a side dump rather than top to bottom....looks like the tip on a '78 LowRider...I looked into rotating it, but that would mean I either had one 6mm bolt holding it on (no, I don't think so) or drilling more holes. It's kinda a "collector item" so no holes...

- April 27, 2014, 08:52:30 AMFor what its worth I kind'a like the slash cut. I was never really that hot on the shark's tail tip on the stock pipes. I know some call it a fish tail but to me true fish tails look like the attached photo and only look good in pairs.

- April 27, 2014, 08:20:43 AMI'm thinking about that. I can't see it when I'm riding, it doesn't sound any different, and nobody but another Drifter owner would even notice it...
