Default Thunderheader and forward controls

Trying to put forwards on my 01 FXDX. The bike has a thunderheader on it. it looks like the angle of the exhaust ( brake side obviously) is different than stock pipes,
it looks like it is more forward , not blocking the frame where forwards would attach but definitely reducing the space around it.
Am I imagining/hallucinating ( damn 70's) this, or has someone with this set up putting on forwards in the past noticed this problem. Already spent money on a set of forwards that wont fit, don't want to spend more money on the HD parts and still have the same issue.
Sorry for the rambling explanation.
Let the fun begin

My buddy had a TH on his 05 Dyna with forwards no problems at all.

Did he put on HD forwards? The ones I tried the billet housing on part of the control hits the pipe.
Thanks for the reply
