- April 24, 2016, 10:09:02 AMThe saddlebags, tank and fender bibs and mud flaps came from Osprey limited. He sent me extra leather so I could make lever fringe and grip covers. I also made the floor board fringe. The seat has a new cover on it from Corbin. The bike just went into the shop to have it lowered 2" as with the Corbin seat it is a little to wide and I am tippy toes and I don't like that. I removed as much of the foam from the thigh area in the seat as I could and didn't help.

- April 22, 2016, 17:25:49 PMI just hope I get the right ones! Your pics haven't showed up yet. Give them time to approve them. Three weeks isn't too bad a wait for the pipes. It's been a month now for me! Gettin' a little antsi!

- April 22, 2016, 17:07:23 PMWell i cancelled my order but followed a link on this thread to Hellriserscustoms and low and behold Bill told me he contacted Hard Krome owner as he was not aware of production on the hard krome american classicII for drifter 800 being discontinued. He called me back (Bill) and said they are making a few sets due to demand and it is a list for people wanting these to get on. So I am on the list through Hell Risers. 3 week lead time. I then called Hard Krome back and Micheal said he was not aware of this and wished the owner would talk to the salesmen. What a mess!!! Hopefully they work things out as they are really nice pipes. But I am on the list to get what I want..... All is good in Drifter land right now unless I don't get pipes. I just uploaded pictures of my bike which I have stuck alot of time and money into so hopefully they appear soon!

- April 22, 2016, 11:08:05 AMWell I called Hard Krome back today. He told me yesterday they had one set of pipes he found that would fit my drifter 800 and said they were stripper straights. When I talked to him today he said they were kickers which are short and staggered. I then said I wanted the Americn Classic II long look. He said we don't make them anymore and this is all we have left. Needless to say I cancelled my order as they are not what I want. Looking for the long pipes as I bought fishtail ends caps I wanted to put on them. I am getting pretty frustrated as I can't find what I am looking for. Will probably end up drilling out the baffles in my stock exhaust to get a little rumble. Hope all works out with you getting your pipes and congrats for getting the last ones....
