Milwaukee Twins Drag Pipes Install Problems
I just got an 03 Low Rider with Python Dual Staggered pipes. The front heat shield was coming off so the seller bought a set of Milwaukee Twins Long N Low pipes to go with the bike in the sale.
I removed the Pythons and tried to install the new pipes, but the brackets don't line up at all. I called J&P tech support and they said it should mount up to the stock bracket but I don't see how that would work either. The mounting brackets on the pipes line up under the lower shock mount. Anyone have any ideas?

Doesn't look like its set up for stock. Usually the stock uses a round style bar to connect the channels on the two pipes. The stock brackets then use round center pull clamps around the pipes to connect to the two brackets. Oneup front ahead of the mid peg location and one in the back near the passenger peg.

how did you like these?
How did you end up liking these pipes? i am considering ordering these pipes but would like a personal opinion first. and did the stock mounting hardware work like it was suggested? by looking at the pictures, I'm not sure if my stock hardware would work because the mounting tabs are both directly on top of one another where as with stock header pipes they are staggered.

Sorry for the late reply. I was able to order stock mounting brackets and chrome c-clamps to mount the pipes. However, after all that, I ended up not liking the pipes. With no heat shield the pipes melted my boots if I brushed up against them. I ended up getting a set of Vance and Hines Short Shots and I like them.
