All, thanks for the suggestion. I'll post pic of the new pipes and the Police Air Ride Seat that I installed this morning as soon as possible.

By the way, I paid $503 delivered for the Twin Slash Monsters from Dennis Kirk. Ordered last Sunday and they arrived today.

where the mufflers bolt to the bag rails put the bolts back in and hand tighten them and then use a hammer and punch to dive the brackets to the rear of the bike that should get them loose enough to get them off good luck

Tiny quick side to side wiggles and pull at the same time. They'll come off.

I've always used a 2x2 (maybe 2' long) and a hammer.

Sprayed some WD-40, let it soak for an hour and they slid right off. The mufflers installed in a snap. Took me a total of about 15 minutes to get them on. Awesome sound and I like the look better than the original higher-priced Monser Ovals.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I don't think most of you guys have any idea the value of a cutting torch when removing stubborn parts from your Harley.

I have 1 in my toolbox.
You should, too!

Don't forget to remove any finger prints before you light'em up the first time.

Glad it worked for you. I always use anti seize when installing exhaust componants. I remember once, sweating for nearly an hour and getting nowhere with the left side muffler. Sprayed some WD-40 on, and it slipped off so easily it almost flew out of my hands. I had to laugh.
