Looking for tips on slip-on install for Deuce/Fatboy

Getting ready to install Rush slip-ons on my Deuce. Presently have SE's which were dealer installed right after I got the bike. I do a lot of my own wrenching so the install looks fairly straight forward. Anyone have any tips they can offer me to make it easier or anything I SHOULD'NT do.

What size baffles did you get? Just recently swapped my 1.75 for 2.0 and they sound freakin awesome

.
Haymarket... just outside my old stomping grounds. That area has changed a lot.

I got the 1.75's. Were they not loud enough for you or you just did'nt like the sound? They Haymarket area has changed, but not for the better. Too much traffic, taxes thru the roof..

Post up after you get them installed please. Looks like the stockers and SE mufflers bolt up the same way the cans do on my Blackline, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get a wrench on the bolts without removing the entire system. They are located at such an odd angle that a socket and ratchet won't fit and a box end wrench doesn't fit flushly on the heads.
Look forward to hearing how you do it.
