BTW, I noticed that the blinkers' lights stay always on: is that because of a specific mod or what?

- September 06, 2016, 07:57:49 AMKiller pipes and sounds great. Super nice 2001. Your factory paint theme and bike setup has to be the best look then any motorcycle ever made except mine. Lol. Side note- I own a 2001 after seeing yours a few months ago......Love the dual pipes, Great job...

- September 05, 2016, 19:20:46 PMFinally got her on the road today! This bike shifts smoother than any bike I've ever ridden. All I have left to do is install the Zambini Indian emblems and the rear fender bib.
Have to admit, I like the bagless look so far. The leather trunk seems to hold enough "essentials".

Both sides of the exhaust are rubber mounted so it should help.Looks a lot like mine. Love those pipes, Where did you find it? I did the rubber mount for the exhaust as I bought mine with the pipes but the vibration was quite noticeable. Have you had it out and about yet? Is there more vibration than before? Greenbarn had a good write up about vibration on his bike if you are interested.

Found the pipes on craigslist but like I said, used Samson mufflers instead (I'll be selling the new Roadhouse mufflers with baffles since I don't need them).
I'll do a followup when I get it on the road...
Thanks!

- June 26, 2016, 07:47:41 AMI finally got my Roadhouse system hooked up with Samson fishtail exhausts and love it! One of things I really liked with my other Drifter was the sound of the V&H pipes. These Samson pipes offer the same sound and are much lighter that than the stock Roadhouse exhaust, especially with the packed baffles.
The Samson comes with metal baffles (not packed like Roadhouse). I removed the left baffle for a better, less restrictive flow on that side. The only problem with the Roadhouse was with the damn cross over pipe. No matter what I did, it always ended up 2.5 - 3" lower on the left side. After spending 5 afternoons on it, I had enough and took a grinder to cut a slot, 3/4's of the way deep, near the T, and then put it in the vice and pound it to the right height. I then brought it to Pennels (or is it Petricellis or....I can't remember their name so I'll have to get back with that one) to have them weld the stainless steel and they did an amazing job, better than the factory welds.
Anyways, it came out great. I'l l post more pictures and sound afterwards when I finally decide to go trunk /bagless or with bags.
