I'm thinking about getting this mount from Speed Kings..It's really damn expensive but they have a lifetime warranty on it and guarantees the mount won't break. Does anyone have experience with this bracket? You'd think for $200 they would have at least powdercoated the thing..I wonder how much it would cost to get it chromed??
ok..so I went with the Speed Kings mount..I'll be sure to post back to this thread when I get everything together to let you all know how it worked out..
That looks great for the rear mount, which should prevent the problem Tom warned of in post #2, but you will still need one at the tranny, to support the system weight further forward. Take another look at the link in post #4.

You're quite right, but it supports the rear of the exhaust, I don't see how it can also support the centre of the system. Take a look at that Dyna photo above, there is a chrome bracket around the upper pipe, just below the oil filler cap, to the front of the oval tranny cover. Also check the link I gave earlier, and take a look at a stock mounting system!
This is an different brand of mounting bracket (may not be for a Thunderheader), which includes a tab (to the right) to take that extra support strap, although it may be possible to do something similar with your Speed Kings mount:

I see that..I do have a mount that can mount to the cam inspection plate..That's a nice mount too..and it looks like they powdercoated it! Wish I would've seen that one!
I finally got the pipe off and much to my dismay...The brace that connected to the cam plate cover is broken and there's a crack at the top right of the mount. I'm banging my head into a wall here..Luckily here in Vegas there is an FXR guru, so I'll be dropping the pipe off with him today and he'll weld the crack and mount a new anchor plate. Then I'll start putting money away for a new TH down the road..One that will be properly mounted this time.
