Default Samson True Duals

I've fitted Samson True Duals with 36" Fishtail mufflers. However, I'm now struggling to re-fit the left side-panel - any advice appreciated...

Advise, maybe a pic of the issue, what bike is it, and panel?

Sounds like the pipes prevent your installing the plastic cover on a bagger ?
Before I`d remove the pipes, I`d look at if removing the "crash bar" would provide room
It`s a long shot

Problems solved - Welded an extra 3/4" (18mm) into the horizontal section that runs in front of the frame. This has allowed removal of the side panel and reduced the heat risk on the panel. If I hadn't told you it can't be noticed - the stainless join is covered by the heat shields. Happy man!
