RE: Drooping Mufflers
I've screwed around with mine some and haven't accomplished much. The front slip-on supports the rear slip-on and I hate to do anything with the pipes coming from the head for fear of an exhaust leak at the head. The eleven inch shocks raise the swingarm so the pipes are pointing down hill anyway.
Good Luck

i loosened everthing and gently pulled them up some but they are still pointing down some but not as bad as they were be careful you can cause a leak at the head if your too aggressive

indeed, mine does the same thing on my '07 bob....there have been posts like this in the past...i actually started one about 2 months ago....it's a typical thing with slip-ons, actually....and it's compounded by low riders and streetbobs having lower shocks because lower shocks (especially prog 11 inch and 11.5 inch) will lift the swingarm....the only real solution is to get a one piece system...which i will be doing at my 1k service

RE: Drooping Mufflers
One thing to keep in mind (believe me, I know from experience), you can only torque the exhaust clampsa dozen or so times before they wear out - I switch between my stock SEII and BCT baffles every other week. My front clamp is shot; will not fully tighten any more...gotsta gets somer new ones!
