FXFB S&S slip-ons - DB reducer removal
Hi guys, just got my S&S slip-ons installed this week at a shop, which sound awesome. I asked the shop to remove the DB reducers, which they didnt. Tried to do it myself, but was unable to remove the tips after taking out the screws holding them in. Does anyone have any tips for getting the covers off? I thought about spraying some WD-40, but I dont want to ruin the finish, or worse, screwing up the exhaust (or setting the bike on fire!).
If anyone wants a clip of bike running before I remove them let me know and Ill post it!
Thanks

I have the S&S MK45’s which have the DB reducers as well.. you do not need to do anything with the tips. Look indie the outlet opening and you will see two Allen head screws. Take those out and the DB reducers pull right out. The screws hold the round Flange in. I think the screws are at 3 & 9 O’Clock.
If you still have an issue let me know and I will get a photo.

Here's the schematic from the S&S website.
Might be of some help.
If it is the cap (3) that won't budge, maybe tap it a couple of times with a rubber mallet.

Thank you guys, I was unsure if the 2 bolts on the bottom of the pipes had anything to do with it, but doesnt look like it from the schematics.
Ill give it another go today and well see how it turns out!
