Exhaust 3 Years, 11 Months ago  
I am thinking of going with "DOOLEY" Exhaust on My Bike, Are there any of you running this Exhaust and what Brand Name. Where can you get a set for a Good Price?

Where can you get a set for a Good Price?

A number of people run the duals on here so I'm sure you will get some good feedback. I think there are 3 makers now but not sure. As for a "good price", I havn't seen a sale on any of them yet, short supply has been the norm.

Good Luck

Re:Exhaust 3 Years, 11 Months ago  
I'm running the Roadhouse Dual exhaust. I like 'em and I got mine at a good price, but that's not the norm for duals.

Usually they're upwards of $500 (Here's a link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Roadhouse-Dooley-Exhaust-for-1999-2007-Yamaha-Roadstar_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35596QQihZ018QQitemZ280232199005QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW#ShippingPaymentsomeone posted from an ebay auction for some used ones. The starting price is $570+shipping) New Roadhouse Duals are around $700.00+ shipping. Freedom True Duals are upwards of $800+shipping.

So, the modification is not a cheap one. However if you like the look and the sound replacing the stock pipes with these is still way cheaper than buying another brand of cruiser bike that has dual exhaust as the standard.

Re:Exhaust 3 Years, 11 Months ago  
I researched quite a bit and decided on the Freedom Duals for quality, sound, availiblity and true duals no cross over. No Pork has them for $699 now and talk to Clifford here he has VERY good prices unfortunately a new transmission took my duals funds away I no several guys that have the Roadhouse currently and really wish the Freedom were around when the bought theirs. I have not heard anything bad about the Roadhouse other than not availible though.

Re:Exhaust 3 Years, 11 Months ago  
to get around the back of the motor you cant get any thing bigger..than 1 1/2 pipes so performance is out...

at least Harley put some beefy exhaust on ..

the pic of the freedom exhaust looks like they carried the 1 1/2 pipe straight thru ...

that is skinny...


very much opposite to the HK 2 1/2 or HK 3 beefy look
