Default Help..Rush Slip-ons Installation
I am trying to remove the stock mufflers on my 07 fatboy to install the Rush slip-ons......
There are Six 3/8" bolts holding them to the mounting bracket...Access is next to impossible...
Unless, is there a "Special" tool to access these without removing the whole exhaust system?
Any suggestions??

My mate said this morning the exact same thing re sound on the 1.75's... and he has listened to my bike a few times the past week. you might find that they mellow a bit once settled in ( he didn;t mention a smell )

Don't count on it. I believe mine have actually gotten louder since I put them on1500 miles ago.
