2016 FXDLS install question
I recently installed the road rage 3 from Bassani on my Dyna. Looks and sounds great. I've noticed that on both exhaust ports one stud had more threads exposed than the other. I followed the torque specs, and sequence in the service manual. Just wondering if this is normal, or if I should loosen the headers and muffler and re-torque. Thanks!

You're fine. There's nothing to worry about as long as both the stud bolts have a good bite on the studs. Run a few heat cycles through the engine and then re-torque the bolts to spec. You can then do what I do, double nut the studs or use a crown bolt to "cap" them off.

Phew haha. Yeah it's like almost 3 threads on one and 5 on the other on both ports. I've got a couple hundred miles on them, as retorqued after the first few rides. Just wanted to double check.
