the actual mounting bracket it's self right. where the two bolts go through the old orig holes? it seems like when i do that the front pipe rubs agaisnt where the floor board is going to be.

o.k. got that taken care of, now, just how close do the ends of the pipes match up. mine are off just a little, is this normal or should they be dead nuts even? This is turning in to kinda pain in butt. i sure hope it's worth it and i don't screw anything up.

hammersly,
Mine are off, ever so slightly, but they are off. I tried to get them lined up, but wasn't able to and still get a good seal at the heads.

04roadrider, I am thinking of getting those pipes for my *. How do they sound? My adult supervision says that I can't get pipes that are too loud.  At this time I have stage 1 mods to my stock pipes. Are they louder or about the same as stage 1? Thanks Stan |

I had HK 3" pipes in o6 when I first got my bike.....you can set off a car alarm as you ride by it when you crack the throttle.It was better than a horn anyday  ...unless they have changed their system and your concern is noise ...look elsewhere IMHO ....Coug

Stan,
Mine are VERY loud, and yes, I do have the baffles in them. I have heard that the res-tech versions aren't as loud, but I've never heard them personally. Got mine in 05, so the res-techs weren't available. Don't get me wrong, I do like the sound, especially if I'm riding with a group of HDs who think their bikes are big and bad!  , but I do wish they were a bit more quiet. I did do the crumb cup mod, but wasn't happy with the fluffing sound they made, so I took them out.
Hammersly, sorry, don't want to hijack your thread. 
P.S. They do look awesome bolted onto that big v-twin though!!!
