Not that this is the be all and end all, but I googled "fxr with bub bad dogs" and several fxrs with mids, and what appear to be those pipes, appeared.

Thinking back 30 years, the rear pipe tied into a hole on the tranny case

be careful to minimize tension between this point and the exhaust port

Ideally, “engineer “ some compliance at the lower bolt

Spending too much time wide open in top gear resulted in breaking the boss on the trans

YMMV

yeah the mid controls will prob sneak threw, might make your foot a little bit warm, for mids I like the rear pipe to pretty much slant straight back away from the rear cylinder, but good luck

I dunno if it's stock or not, but I have a small rubber mount that my muffler can bolt up to.
