Default D&d fatcat install

So in the process of installing these plus some other stuff on 04 roadking. Got old exhuast off easy enough. So looking at the trans bracket supplied just have a few questions. First to get the old on off looks like there about 4-5 screws to take off and one of them is behind the black piece by the oil fill spout? Also there's a wire attached to the stock bracket do I just reattach that to another bolt.
Next the d&d came with some new bolts. Two big ones which I believe are for the floorboards with some spacer. Then 3 smaller ones with only 2 spacer with i believe are for the muffler bracket under the bags, just dont know why there are 3. The install does seem like its going to be pretty straight forward though just though I would ask for some guidence or tips. Also the instruction from d&d are pretty vague. They mention a silencer? Is that the rubber square pieces under the bags.

Re-attach the wire where it was.
The "3rd Bolt"...look at those 3 bolts...I think one is a Carriage Bolt, has the square place just under the head.
The 3rd bolt will be to attach the pipe to the bracket.

A bolt goes through a wire connector.
Remove the bolt(s)...remove the stock bracket...install new bracket...put the wire on one of the bolts.

And the exhaust tab goes under the bracket tab......................near the transmission cover.
And the spacers get used in the rear under the saddlebags.

Not all bikes will use the spacer under the saddlebag , Try it with and without to see how your pipes line up.

With the exhaust tab under the bracket tab like it should be, you will use the spacers in the rear to align everything in a straight line.
