Default Factory exhaust mounting

I have yet another question about my fxr. It has a supertrapp exhaust I’d like to get rid of. I also have the factory exhaust but I don’t know how/where it mounts. Any photos of how it bolts up to the bike?

Probably Not... the exhaust needs to be completely isolated from the Frame. I think the Supertrapp broke this rule and is problematic..
Best bet is to study the Factory parts manuals from later on... look at images on the Internet, and Make/fabricate a Proper rear pipe mount attached to the rear of the Tranny... [Look at the latest ones... ie 1994...also... unless you use extremely Light weight Mufflers... it is Imperative to tie the Mufflers together [to each other] with that tubular PIece that comes with the Stock Pipes...


I made the rear mount for this, and Nothing touches the Frame...anywhere..

Actually I have a 94. I got the factory pipes and the bracket that goes between the mufflers with the bike. Is there anything else? The supertrapp sounds like the bike is farting through a paper *******.

The front pipe connects at the nose cone. Rear pipe connects at the tranny. The bracket ties the muffler ends together. If there’s a “key” to successfully mounting pipes on a FXR, it’s to “ make everything happy “ before you bolt it down. Get it all lined up and tighten in a sequence so that nothing is forced into position.

I can get a Picture of the Rear mount on a '94 if you get in a bind.. and all FXR's use the same front mount under the cone HD# 65670-82B ..,There is one on the eldest boys Heritage also... but, may have been added at some point!!
The rear is HD#65675-87

I got them mounted up today. What an improvement! I’d conserved putting a supertrapp on my shovel. I’m so glad I didn’t. Thanks for the help!
