V&H 4.5 HO Help

I have a 15 SGS with 4.5 V&H slip-ons. I just purchased a set of extended bags. The left side went on easy. The right side bag is hitting the pipe. I found after measuring that the right side pipe is further away from the bike which is causing the issue. Can these pipes be adjusted to fix the issue? I couldn't find a place to adjust. Any ideas? Thanks for any input.

Had these both on my 08 and now on my 17 with no issues. Just to confirm your saying right side didn't go go in as far as left? If so pull off put some BP plaster or w.d and rotate as your pushing back in to see if you can get it to go. Should be even on both sides.

The length is fine. The pipe is mounted further away from the body than the left side.

loosen the muffler to header clamp and mounting bracket to the right side muffler and turn the muffler clockwise. That will bring the right side in closer to the frame.
