Default Python slip-on 'need advice'

I have 412 rear shocks that stick out a bit more then the stock shocks did. I have SE slip-on's now, and the rear muffler has a indentation in it for clearance around the shock. Any one hear know if the Pythons 3 have the same thing for shock clearance ?...Thanks.

I just put a set of Python 3 on my 06 1200C yesterday. It does not have the indentation for the rear shock. However the mufflers themselves are much smaller in diameter than the factory mufflers, so you should be OK.

I have python 3's on my 2008 883xl no indentation in muffler, take a look at picture muffler sets below shock.

I have 11 inch progressive 412's on my 07 1200 C and I also have python 3 slip ons. No indentation nor is it needed. It is close, but it does fit.

'Thanks'
I should have told you I have a chrome rear axle cover, and longer 12.5" shocks so my S E muffler even with the indentation is very close to hitting at idle. When I set on it, then it pulls away from the shocks. If the 11" is close, then I'm afraid my 12.5" may be to much.
Unless some one has my set up and it works o.k., I think I might need to leave it alone. How do you guys with Python 3 like the sound ?...
