Title: Drifter/ VN800 classic exhaust headers
Post by: daimlerlimo on May 27, 2013, 03:34:16 AM
I have a Vance and Hines Long shots set up from an old Harley which I had and was thinking of setting them up to fit a Drifter vn800.Just trying to find out if somebody has tried any different header pipes from other Kawasaki models that would fit and clear the Drifter engine.I know the VN800 classic is interchangeable but these exhaust come as complete units.Any ideas welcomed.

I had a complete exhaust form a Harley and ended up cutting it to length to use with the vn800 header.
You might have to modify some brackets to hold the rear of the pipes.

I trust you man, don't want to know what kind of pics you've seen around.  ;)

I have to look for some pics on the exhaust mod as it has been a while since it was done on a Vulcan 800.
The red VN800 in this topic was done with stock headers and Harley Fishtails. http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/index.php?topic=20865.0

Anybody has the internal diameter of the stock headers since I have a pair of V&H long shot slip ons and was wondering if they would slip onto the stock header pipes.
