Bluesman Posted May 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted May 21, 2009 Hey folks, need some help here. I'm looking to purchase a set of aftermarket pipes and after Googling the Internet umpteen thousands of times, it seems the only sellers of any of these exhaust systems are located in the US. Does any one know of some decent Canadian dealers? I'm tired of getting screwed with the exchange rate and I'm damn pissed at the rip-off brokerage fees UPS charges (they ding you for almost the cost of the product!). There must be SOME Canadian motorcycle stores that I can pick up a set of Vance and Hines or Bubs from. Any one have any connections? Bluez Oh.....PS: Slip-ons or the entire system.....which is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted May 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted May 21, 2009 OK...I don't know about the Canadian sources but here is what I recommend. Order what you want and have them shipped to my house for maintenance day. We'll install them while you are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted May 21, 2009 Share #3 Posted May 21, 2009 Slip-ons will do you fine if all you want to do is make a little noise. You really only need a full system if you're doing a bunch of other engine modifications and making a lot more power with it. I don't have any Canadian dealer suggestions. Sorry. But there must be a decent one somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I"m in Mississauga and pass through Hagersville every Friday the 13th! Just wrote them for more info as their catalogue seems to cater only to Harleys. If they'll take care of a metric owner, the may just get my business. Wow, no taxes either. I wonder if the Feds are waiting on the outskirts to nail buyers!

Bluez Oh.....PS: Slip-ons or the entire system.....which is better? Slipons are simple to.. erhm "slip on" so to speak.. I bought a set of Screaming Eagles for my RSV Midnight and it makes a nice rumbler sound.. Required a special bracket that was easy enough to find at the time.. Toss in some K&N filters and you've got some additional power and sound (shorter range though) But I feel your pain on the UPS rape.. I've more than once refused the order at the door when presented with their outrageous fee.. http://www.motovan.com is a QC company Best of luck!

flb_78 Posted May 21, 2009 Share #7 Posted May 21, 2009 If it was me, I'd just order a set of Harley brackets and then get a set of slip-on mufflers from the local Harley dealer and avoid all the hassles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a great excuse for a ride! (Like I NEED one, huh?) LOL Bluez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbertaClipper Posted May 22, 2009 Share #11 Posted May 22, 2009 What I'e been doing is when I find something I want online beit at ShowChrome, Motovan, Kimpex, J&P Cycles, Dennis Kirk, etc I print out the page and take it to my local Yamaha dealer. I don't care where they get it from as long as I get what I want. I might pay a little more (usually not much more tho) but it saves the aggrevation of trying to find it myself in Canada. It also helps the local shop which I would hate to lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
