Slight mod. I spoke about it on this thread (towards the bottom), http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/index.php?topic=13658.25
If you're talking about the Samson pipes then, no mod needed. They mated right up perfectly to the heat shields. Of course, I had to make hangers for them.

- September 12, 2016, 20:05:14 PMQuote from: bambam0099 on 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.

You found the right trunk for your bike, I wish I could find one exactly the same only in desert tan.
As far as the trunk, ask Garry! Here is where I bought them: http://www.leatherpros.com/website1_007.htm
I bought the smaller one so it wouldn't "overtake" the rear end. I've gotten alot of compliments already.

Duh!
As far as I know, here in Italy it's forbidden to use blinkers as marker lights...

- September 06, 2016, 14:10:22 PMQuote from: DC on September 06, 2016, 13:41:32 PMWhew! good thing to have on hand for sure. Especially right after the gigantic Labor Day weekend. Everything worked overtime especially my blinkers this weekend. A lot of traffic in Watkins Glen NY: destination for car and bike lovers from around the planet. They all descend on Watkins Glen in the summer but especially Labor Day weekend. And they will descend this coming Vintage Race weekend. I better change my blinker fluid after this past weekend, for sure---sat in traffic for hours (slight exaggeration) waiting to take the turn in the center of town at the light and must have sat there for 5,000 to 6,000 blinks. Dam. That'll wreak havoc on the fluids.That reminds me. I need to pick up some more blinker fluid. I always get the synthetic. http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=22
...Yup.

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