Maybe I got the last ones! You have me nervous now! I ordered them on line from Hardkrome and didn't hear from them for a couple weeks. no confirmation or anything. After repeated E-mails and phone calls I finally talked with someone a few days ago. he said the pipes are pretty much made to order and a lot of the work is farmed out to other shops. He said mine are in chrome right now, as they can't do that in California for environmental reasons. He apologized for not getting ahold of me sooner and assured me he will ship them to me on the 29th. Guess we will see how it pans out!

I have been dealing directly with Hard Krome also and they told me they had a set of 2 1/2" stripper straights left but didn't have any American Classics which I really wanted. I ordered the stripper straights but I don't think it is going to be what i am looking for as I want them to stick out past my saddlebags... I couldn't find a picture of them on a drifter to look at.

When I was looking for aftermarket pipes for Diddly Squatt, I would follow the Craigslist adds for Kaw Drifter within a reasonable drive from my home. If a seller said he had both aftermarket and stock exhaust, I would send him a email stating that "if the buyer wasn't interested in the aftermarket pipes that I might buy them".  I received several offers to sell me the exhaust before I found the fishtail exhaust for $100 within a short distance from my home.
The reason I am telling this is that some Drifter riders can't afford to spend the $400+ plus shipping that many manufacturer's ask for their exhausts.

Looking for new pipes for my 800 and really like the Hard Krome American Classic II but they no longer make them. Any suggestions? I like how long they are as I have saddle bags and would like them to go past them.

.                        Just ordered Classic II's for mine from Hardkrome and they will be delivered on the 29th.

I wound up going custom with mine. Find a good custom shop near you and talk to them. They may be able to put something together for a reasonable price. My pipes (above) came out to be just a little more than Hard Kromes w/ wrap included.

I do love those fish tails.....  Who's going to Wisconsin?  I hope there's a big crowd there!

CrshOverride really nice subtle touch having the fish tails on that angle, makes it that much nicer they are not the same as everyone else.

Both of you have nice rides.......Hope to see them in WI

No baffles here...everybody else just has to deal.  8)

It's definitely loud but, in the words of the mechanic that did the install and tune, it pulls harder than a lot of the Sportsters he gets in the shop.

They look awesome. I'm so jealous :D  Apparently you opted for no baffles, or did you get them in there since your last post?

Oh No..Baffles are definately necessary. Very loud without them.
