Default Those with BCT monster baffels?

Just ordered a set, already got my old baffels out, just waiting for them to get here!
Anyway, my question is, im running V&H big radius, when i drill the new holes, does it matter where i drill them as long as they're at least the 6" up?
Don't the heat shields cover the new bolts? Can i just drill right into the sides facing out? Trying to do this with the pipes still on the bike.

I have monster baffles in V&H big radius pipes also. They include directions, but if I remember correctly they tell you to drill the hole at the 5 O'Clock position. The heat shields do cover up the setscrews.

That's what you get for falling asleep for 9 years, Rip!

I put a set on my Breakout's Freedom Amendments - great sound and seemed to give it a power boost - but maybe that was just me going deaf.

I've always put the hole in a location that I can access later if I decide to change baffles.
