Default FLSTC Left Muffler Support

Putting Kerker dual exhaust on my 96 FLSTC and I need info to locate a left muffler support bar, anyone know where or what needs to be done before I even consider starting. I do know that I will have to drill the bosses on the left side for the bar.

Any and all input considered and appreciated.

I think I read where there's a couple plugs in the frame you have to pop off with a flat screwdriver.

put the vance and hindes bagger duals on my wifes 04 Heritage , came with all the brackes needed , on the plugs , thats bout the hardest part but just pull the end off then I used a small punch and just drove them through the inside , you also need to run a tap through the holes to clean out the paint , atleast I did , kircker may send the bracket you need also ,they look good and sound great , good luck

My mufflers turned out to be hollowed Kerker Cans, can you lead me to a set of good baffles with tone? The length of the m8uffler is 20" and Diam. of 3.5" with 3 bolt pattern. Will any baffle work if it has the three holes to screw them into the muffler?

My riding buddy made me another support and the pipes are now on, sound great and looks great. We did have to bend the shift rod to make it clear the pipe.
