Before you cut on the stock pipes: if they are in good shape, they are worth a lot of bucks. Restorers are always looking for them.

Then how come I can't get rid of mine? Guess, I'll have to try selling on ebay? I've had on CL for now....

The ones on ebay command high prices, and usually are not in great condition.

I wasn't planning on it (running tiny pipes all the way back). But if I have 1 inch pipes to start, I'm not sure what I can do to go too much larger.

It would take a big step in an adaptor to do much else. I really wasn't going to go too much further back that where the joint is now. Maybe a foot with a turn out tip or something. I'd use those 14" turnouts I see in Dennis Kirk and on ebay, but I don;t think 1" input is an option on those.

I stopped at the auto parts store to look at exhaust pipes and adapter s. It will take 3 pieces per side. I guess that isn't too bad. If I reuse the heat shields it might be OK.

I don't know much about this sort of thing, but using the heat shield to hide the adapters sounds like a good plan. At the worst, I'd guess that maybe one adapter might show, perhaps... which wouldn't seem like a big deal to me.

On my '80 750ltd,like the stock one pictured,I put on a Vance&Hines 4 into 1.Dennis Kirk still has them available.It looks better,sounds better,and performs better.Cost me around $300 or so.Along with the K&N big pods,best thing I ever did.Amazon has them for $109.Pt# rc-0984.Just orderd a new set for the 1100.
