Where to buy D&D exhaust for a Legend?
OK, after more than a year of agonizing over which exhaust to put on my Legend, I've decided on D&Ds.
I have read many posts and waited over a year for British Customs to turn out a new batch of Predators. No Luck. Drilled my stocks out in the meantime.
I temp installed D&Ds (from my guy's Bonnie) last weekend and they sounded awesome on the Legend's triple!
If anyone has any other last minute suggestions for any other exhaust.....?
If not,
where can I buy the D&D slip-ons either online or in SE Virginia? (3 into 2 system).
Any ideas on getting the upswept placement on the Legend?

I put on the British Customs Predator Exhausts and love them. They sounded great with my stock carbs and sound amazing with the FCR39s.

Al, I've seem your previous posts on the Predators... Thanks. They were my first choice but British Customs hasn't had any new ones made. I have waited since last April.
Denny, Don't see where you can buy direct. I plan on calling tomorrow and I found one online merchant that will be contacting D&D tomorrow as well to get info on them for pricing. Was hoping someone could refer me to a local shop.
Do any Legend, Thunderbird, Adventurer owners have D&Ds on their bike??

I've seen and heard a TBS with EMGO megaphone exhausts and they sound fantastic. Think they were these:

PS. It will only cost you around 120 for the set.

TBSstunta....I think I may take your advice and get me a pair of those pipes for my TBS. Those look pretty cool. I've heard mixed reviews on the Emgo stuff, but I think I'm going to try it myself.

I have a set of the Dunstall-looking EMGOs and they don't sound as nice. The guy said they were Emgo pipes but I can't 100% confirm those are the ones. Be aware that the Quality isn't anywhere like D&Ds, but on the plus side its a really inexpensive experiment. I was able to use my stock brackets though, I'll post a pic this evening.

The Engineer at D&D said the pipes only fit the T-Bird Sport. Back to the drawing board. Grrrrrrrr!
BTW, already tried a set of Roadhawk megaphones as shown on Emgo and really didn't like the sound at all.
After hearing both the predators and the d&d temp fitted on my bike, everything else seems like a disappointment...
Tempted to get the TORs but heard mixed reviews. I want a very noticeable throaty sound with volume when I get on it.

I put on the TOR's after having 1 1/2 years of drilled stock pipes. The TOR's are much throatier and bark when you really hammer it!

Until then just drill your stock pipes.
