Default Thunderheader problems
I have a 99FXR3 with forward controls and got a TH to install. When I put the pipes in the exhaust ports the front pipe hits the backside of the oil filter housing and the pipe will not come close to the front bracket. Has anyone put a TH on a 99 or 2000 FXR with fwds, and did you have any difficulty installing?
