Ratman,
I still have the stock (black) covers, which I could paint to match the ivory and black I plan for my paintjob.
That way I could have the best of both worlds- thanks for giving me the idea  ;)

Mr. Hanbar, what would you like to see specifically?

Naz

 Are you going to leave them chrome or paint them to fit the bike is my question. But the bike does look good.

Very nice looking and those serrated heat shields do look so good, now what are you doing to the side covers?

Side covers are aftermarket chrome jobs-

OK Boys, let's try this again-

Again, kudo's to Mr. Singh for my new all-around leather. I think she's a looker.
(But I am slightly prejudiced on that matter)

Next project will be RivCo air horns, and then paint. Custom job to turn the silver and black to Ivory and black. And that's gonna ouch $$$ wise.

PS- I don't think the sound would disappoint anybody- they're just not loud. Throaty, yes, great "note", yes- louder than stock, way yes. But tooth grinding loud-no.

Cheers,
Nazarene

Glad my hard work paid off for somebody. Personally, I think that's worth at least sending me your old Hard Krome pipes as a thank you. Haha. ;)

Unfortunately it doesn't look like I'm going to have the money to order these this year. I had to go the ghetto route and remove a baffle and do a little drilling to my stock setup to hold me over.

Hopefully they'll still be around when I'm ready. I'm definitely excited to see the pictures. If you have a chance, it'd be awesome to have a decent video to judge the sound off of as well.

Guys,
Sorry for the long delay getting word back on the pipes.
Just installled the day before Easter.
Took awhile to get the folks at Webike to understand about the bellows, but they finally got it.
Took a few "glamour shots" with Singh's leathers.
Installation was straightforward, no issues.
All mounting hardware was provided as promised.
Sound is slightly softer than my Hardkrome American classic straights. Nice note.
Low-end power is now noticeably stronger.
Trying to upload photos; hope they show up.
I'd like to thank crash overide for bird-dogging these for me, I love the pipes.

Crash,
Strange you use the term "Dream Exhaust". I have a .jpeg on my desktop of a nearly identical system to the one I am buying and and I entitled it "My Dream Exhaust".
Great minds think alike, I guess........... ;)

I ordered mine from Webike, but- here is where things become a little unconventional: I had to have a lengthy e-mail exchange with them proving that American Dreams offers a HEADER for the Vulcan 400 with bellows. I insisted that they should be able to ask A.D. to cut a complete Gordon Fishtail with the same bellows. They kept saying, "no can do".
After alot of "no, we cannot do so" they finally announced that A.D said they could do it- for $223 extra. I didn't care about the extra $$$ because, as we have already discussed, this would be my "dream exhaust". Had to pay the extra $$$ in yen through paypal. In any case, they said three weeks to manufacture and ship, plus whatever time it takes to get through customs. Hoping to see them by end of Feb/ early March.
Hope this answers your questions...........

UPDATE:
They ARE in fact available with serrrated headers (called "Bellows" by the manufacturer) and I will be experiencing a delay in delivery time since I chose this option when I found out it was available. LOVE the sound clips above, boy am I excited now!

Did you order from Webike or did you order straight from the manufacturer? I didn't see anywhere on the Webike page to select an option like that (as it would pretty much be my dream exhaust). I'm definitely excited to see how this turns out so I can take the plunge as well.

thank you for posting about your find!  I look forward to seeing your results.
The stock exhaust on drifters are the only thing I think does not look good at all.  I don't care for the  ones you see on ebay for the vulcans either
