Need advice/help
OK, need some creative advice. I have a 2009 Fatboy. I bought the Vance & Hines True Dual exhaust, cause I really like the look of true duals. Started installing them today, pretty much done, and started putting everything I had to take off back on. That's when I discovered the problem.
I had put passenger floorboards on a few months ago. The right side floorboard, has 2 mount points, it used the stock exhaust bracket as a mounting point. It has a little peg that sat in a hole, and then you screwed the floorboard bracket in to the old peg hole. Well, with the stock bracket gone, there is not a place for that little peg, and I can't simply mount to the peg hole, as it makes the floorboard tilt forward due to interference from the frame.
I think all I need, is to maybe take a 1/2 inch spacer behind the mounting bolt, and let the rest of the bracket rest against the frame for support.
Thought, ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I will definitely post some pics when done. I have the pipes on, just need to finish tightening some things up. They look real good.
