Well, so much for an easy install. I can't get the muffler to go onto the collector more than maybe 1/16". Just enough to say the tabs are over the collector but that's it! I'm taking a break before it gets damaged.

Consider bolting a piece of flat stock crosswise to the rear mounting point
Use it as a T handle to steer and push the muffler forward

( I always "grease" the joints with nickel never seize to ease install )

I paid $525. for a new Supermeg for my Dyna.
That was about 8yrs ago.
Play around with the disc count.
Every bike has different sweet spot for the R's you prefer.
Mine liked 14 with an open cap best.

Thanks, I went back out and finally got it to go on. I was twisting it the first time but gently tapping it straight on seemed to work better.

That's what I like about it, plus the boost in performance. Hillside Cycles like and recommend them.....

The pipe is the final piece of my Hillside build... well, except for the tune. I just don't have the time right now to make 2 five hour trips. I will say that the carb was setup by Scott and it seems to run pretty good. I love this bike! The pipe is fairly loud (to me) with 20 discs and closed end cap but sounds great.

The A/F meter will help you figure out where you need to be on the carb, so that tuning it will be a breeze for you.
