Default NEW MUFFLERS AND BALANCE ?

&nbsp\\;I think I am going crazy , I just but on new rinehart slip-ons and it through off the riding balance of the bike is this possible? When riding with no hands&nbsp\\; now the bike is pulling to the lift and this is crazy for pipes . Or is this normal ? It was perfect before I put on the pipes .&nbsp\\;

Yep...I think your going crazy
I never heard of this before. Maybe someone else has but it does'nt seem like it would upset the balance of the bike.

I had Rineharts on my FXDI before I did full exhaust.&nbsp\\; Man, what an awesome sound from those slip-ons.&nbsp\\; The only reason my Rineharts threw it off balance was because of the extra&nbsp\\; power and air they were thrusting.
&nbsp\\;
Seriously, I can see anything about those mufflers which would cause what you are describing.

ha ha ha ha ha no way is this a serious ? NO WAY, if the bike is pulling it is your alignment on your front or rear tire, curve in the road, or wind, not a slip on!

Has to be your imagination or something else wrong.&nbsp\\; Counting my stock mufflers, I've had 3 sets of slipons and a set of full pipes on my bike and never experienced anything like what you describe.

Did you inadvertantly take off your gremlin bell, while you were installing the slip-ons. If you have ridden the same strech of road and didn't have a balance issue and now you do on the same strech, then it sounds like an alignment issue.
