I can't find the thread, but someone posted a red 800 with one of these exhausts on it recently. I gave the opinion that is was a mix of vintage parts and custom made. It was obviously one of these American Dreams exhausts....with the corrugated down pipe heat shields. Anyone know who's machine that was?...or was it just dragged across from images on the web?
IMHO, I spent more on finding a roadhouse and getting it right. These exhausts, especially if they are stainless steel, look like a reasonable deal to me if the price posted is with free shipping....and you can confirm it fits the 800.
Merry Christmas...need to go find the cheer...

- December 24, 2014, 11:19:07 AMI have also seen this site and posted it in another discussion recently. What intrigued me was that some of their exhaust systems are stainless steel. Could not determine if this one was. The design is nice and looks good installed. The price not unreasonable for a complete exhaust.
If you can communicate with the seller, I'd ask if the muffler is baffled, so you have an idea about decibels if that matters. Beyond that and considering how hard it is to find something, seems worth the chance.
The alternative is custom fabrication, which I can't believe with the right shop, would come out reasonably priced.

- December 23, 2014, 17:39:13 PMI've been doing some digging online now that I have a bit of Christmas money coming in (it's really burning a hole in my pocket already). I came across the Webike website. It looks like a Japanese parts dealer that ships to the United States.
I found the following exhaust setup: http://japan.webike.net/products/20193302.html
The thing looks killer, is made for the drifter, is in stock, and includes free shipping to the US! Unfortunately I have no clue how the damn thing sounds and was curious if anybody had heard of American Dreams or knows what they system might sound like or how it will perform once installed.
I really don't want to buy something from Japan and have it be terrible.
