The 09 bikes has an indent on the inside (toward the bike) of the muffler to clear the axle. Some just put a dent in the side of the muffler with a hammer. It can not be seen
I am using the 64895-07A muffler and they have the indent.

There has been several on here that has mentioned this but I have not seen it. I could be wrong it being hd mufflers and could be only after market types. My V&H does not have the indent .
I am really pretty happy with the stock mufflers, but if I wanted just a leeetle more muscle to the tone without drowning out my stereo and fatigue on long rides, is there a SE slip on that would fit the bill?
Sorry for the hijack, but I figured you guys looking at this thread would know best.
We have a 09 Ultra and i just put on a set of SE mufflers made in the year 2000 and they fit perfect and sound really good. My dyno tune was about the same a the stock mufflers. Here are a couple of pictures of them.
I asked the same question, I was told that the indent is a little different on the 09's vs the 08 and back...larger axle nut...also said you can add a 1/2" spacer to the mounting bolts and clear any issues....
