Default Adapter bracket for Screaming Eagle pipes?

I have a 2000 883 and I got a new set of Screaming Eagle pipes but they don't fit my bike! The set on it are S/E but they bolt directly to the bike, (replacing due to rust and no baffles) the new set have a channel on the back of them that lock it in, were can I find the bracket so they will fit my bike

Did you buy the new pipes from a dealer? Did you check to see that they fit your year/model? If you don't have a parts catalog for your bike, take the part number to the dealership and have them check it out. They should be able to find the missing bracket.

Not sure about older Sporties, but my g/f's 2000 Dyna (and all our newer bikes) use what I think you're referring to as a channel. Should be a round opening and a rectangular slot. You slip a carriage head bolt through the round opening and it slides fore and aft to align to the mounting point on the bracket.

Yup that's the part is a channel on the "newer" pipes, the old S/E on it now just have a Tab that bolts to the bike it self so I hope there is a adapter to drop down the front pipe since the bolt sits right behind the Brake master rod.. Got the pipes used for a steal but won't be any good if they wont fit

Sounds like you're going to have to fab something up.
