Most of the bikes are the same as mentioned, and once you figure out what other brands it's the same as, you won't have as much trouble finding parts. They are quite simple to work on and you have lots of support from these forum members. |

See if you can find a local bike shop that has some older Hondas for sale. You could get an idea about what looks similar to your bike, and start shopping from there.

Correct me if im wrong... but couldnt i just take the stock exhaust into the welding shop..and take in whatever can i wanna put on it.. and they could just cut the stock muffler off..and add on the better muffler??? or i assume they could always just make me a custom pipe as well??

You're right, it's just that a complete aftermarket pipe would likely flow better because the radius on your bike is pretty tight right after the cylinder head. I wouldn't get somebody to fabricate the head pipe, because it takes a special bender and the cost would be high for marginal gain.
Several aftermarket cans are clamp-on, so perhaps no welding is needed. There is horsepower to be found in an aftermarket can.
