E series muffler question
Bought them but don't have them installed yet. I am waiting for a gasket that I need and the dealer had to order it.
Mine came with 14 discs if I counted correctly and the endcap. Does exhaust (soot) get over the rear fender after riding awhile? If air comes out, they must get sooty. Second questions, are most people who have them running all 14 discs? How tight do you tighten the allen head screws? Thanks

For discs we recommend if you have a non catalyst head pipe starting with 12 discs, if you have the catalyst in place using 14. You should not have any issues with soot any different than any muffler. Screws should be tightened to 30 in.lbs. and be sure to use the included anti seize on the threads.

before you fire up new exhaust....wearing gloves, clean with windex about 4 times completely.
grease or hand prints can kinda "burn in" if you fire up a dirty pipe

My prints
I wiped the pipes down, and hope I got all my prints. it's been started 4 times now, and tomorrow I hope to take it out and ride it. Weatherman says about 40° tomorrow so plan to take it for a spin. I think it is ready. I put the lowers on today and the saddle bags, added air to the tires, and shocks. I did notice a leak but it might be from the oil change I did, hopefully. Anyway, I am scared to death but .....what can go wrong??
