Exclamation brett

hi all, I have just purchased a 2012 fat bob and have had a vance and hines big radius 2 into 1 fitted. on my first ride, I noticed the bolt that holds the passenger foot peg on the right side had dented the top of the heat shield. Harley fitted the exhaust but say they followed all instructions from v and h. Anyone else had a similar problem?

After extensive testing in Research & Development, the designers at the H-D factory have determined that locating that particular bolt any differently would not enable your passenger to melt her shoe all over that section of the exhaust.
Thank you for your inquiry.

The VH 2-1 comes with a spacer for the right side passenger peg that raises the peg up about an inch or so. Looks like they didn't install it?
