I can relate to wanting a bike with pipes on each side. Since I have always had bikes with exhaust on each side, I was searching for the same thing years ago before I bought my Mean Streak and I'm glad I didn't stick to my preference. I think you are selling yourself short with the limitation of equality for the exhaust. There are many great bikes out there which have pipes on one side. I had to weigh the pros and cons of other features to my one only preference of pipes and obviously, there were more benefits to buy with pipes on one side. The pipe issue is no longer a concern. I actually like more bikes with pipes on one side.
Good luck

As I said, it is just a personal preference. Bikes with pipes on one side look good on that side, but on the other side, it looks like something is missing. Plus, I want hard side bags. With pipes on both sides, they can be bigger because on a bike with pipes on one side, they are usually higher up on the bike.
I am not hard to please, and there are plenty nice bikes with pipes on both sides like the pic of the Triumph America.
