Default Exhaust help

I just installed a set of Freedom Performance Patriot LG exhaust on my 08 Deluxe and the bottom of the front head pipe is touching my floorboard bracket. Do they make a spacer for this to bring out the entire bracket a bit? I searched and only found this type of spacers for Touring bikes. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think there's a difference in the floor board mount from a softail to a touring bike.
Call Rinehart Racing. They have a floor board spacer that worked great on my RG and I just did the exhaust on my wifes 17 softail, the mounting was the same.

Thanks for the info. Actually the floorboard bracket on my Deluxe is one piece including the shaft for break pedal and mount for crash bar. My Road King had just a couple bolts holding the mount onto the bike. On my bike id have to put a plate with matching holes behind my bracket to space it I believe? I contacted Freedom Performance but havent heard back yet.
