Monster Oval Question?
I installed these with V&H True Duals in March and I love everything about them (except for one thing). When I installed them I painstakingly fiddled and farted to get them level from the back. Every time I go for a ride and come back they seem to be crooked. I've tightened the clamps up good and I can't seem to move them around by hand.
I'm getting real tired of adjusting them every time I go for a ride. Has anyone seen this or have any ideas on how I could fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

Are the two bolts towards the rear tight also? Are the pipes pushed onto the header pipes as far as they will go?
I have the same pipes and they do not move at all. Plus I used anti seize for easy removal if needed.
Don't be afraid to crank down on the front clamps. Use a 1/2" rachet or breaker bar to get good leverage. After a few heat cycles and re-tightening, they should not move.

If it's coming loose, it not tight enough.......You have to use more torque then the HD manual say to get a good seal and to tighten the clamp up to where it should be...
