Default thunderheader install on a shovel

Hey guys, ZOOM here.
Posted a message as a new member concerning buttoning up a thunderheader on my mildly worked flh. If anyone cares to give me a little insight as to bracketing the round pipes with the rings welded on the ends up into the heads, would be appreciated. You can refer to the new member post for additional info if you'd like.
Thanks again, ZOOM

it should have a mounting bracket that mounts to the two holes in the frame that held the original stock pipes

Nice bike! I have an older thunderheader for an flh and i can retain the running boards. Attaching it to the rear bracket that supported the old pipes isnt the problem though. Its where it attachs to the heads that im wondering about.
