Title: Dual Exhaust
Post by: BobWd on July 21, 2014, 09:45:44 AM

 ??? :banghead: :cuss: :redcard:

He's one for everybody!!
Does anyone know of a company that makes a dual exhaust set up, one pipe on each side of the rear wheel, for the 1800c? I've searched the interweb and all I found was a company that used to make them. Do I have to have them custom made?

Yep.  They don't make them anymore and your best bet is finding someone that is selling them but even then your bets are better at making them if you really want a true dual style exhaust.  MrVTX, (Jason) has a set on his 1300.  I've never seen or heard them on an 1800 before. 

also exhaust for the VTX's is becoming scarce these days.  Cobra still makes pipes but very few of the other manufacturers still produce pipes.

That's what I was thinking. I know Vance & Hinze still makes 'em.

Oh you mean these?
No they never made them for 1800's only the 1300. Company was Roadhouse and they were called Doolies

 :good:

Thanks Mark!! I guess I'll have to call around to some of the custom shops in the area & see if anyone can fabricate them for me & how much they will charge. Depending on price, this may just be a pipe dream.

I thought they made them.  I was looking for them for my Neo but at the time it appears I showed up right at the end when they stopped manufacturing them.
