Coupla questions.....
Before I get flamed...I have searched this, and tried the results, to no avail:
Balance point for red craftsman jack...tried placing rear pad just forward of channel, but no luck. Do I need to go in the channel?
Also, all of my bolts holding my slip-ons are rusted...only on the right side. Is this normal???? Left side are fine...

I set rear pad of my jack right against the front of the crossmember (Craftsman Pro). Yes, it is normal for the hardware on the brutal stock exhaust to corrode. Get out the sawzall, cut those suckers off and get a decent exhaust system on your ride.

I guess my jack is different. I place it INSIDE the channel.
As far as the exhaust hardware, I turn mine under so it is hard to see...have kept the stock pipes, just changed the muffs.

I run my jack right in the channel and so far so good - I lift the jack slightly and set it up from the right side of the bike - I get good balance- By the way - Even some "decent" exhaust hardware will corrode

Thanks...I will try and get it in the channel and see if that helps. I guess I will try and spin the hardware on my pipes further inward, too...just looks like s@%$ sitting there stickin' out like that. Oh, and Bounty...my stock exhaust is safe and sound...IN MY GARAGE!!! 
My V&H are very nice, thank you!!! 
Y'all have a good one!

My craftsman pro jack will not fit in the channel. I slid it right up next to it and lift it. Looks like it is off when I start but it goes up fine and is balanced.
