Default fatcat mount

Well I've assembled my hq 95 build, crossing my fingers that the operation was a success. I am installing the fatcat and I'm not sure if the headpipe mount should be under or on top of the trans mount. WhenI tightened the exhaust it seems to be very close to the cam cover and is hitting the brake pedal. I also already broke the muffler clamp butter bolt. I have a 03 roadking. thanks for your help Bob

I was told by Leonard at D&D that it goes underneath. He said if you put it on top it the mount will eventually break.

All bikes are different, and in the end where it will fit naturally with no forcing it is where it belongs.

On my bike, it went on top of the bracket and I didn't use any spacers under the saddlebag.............everything is straight and sets in place normally.
