I just installed slip ons tonight (my first time).

A little tough getting off, so sprayed a bit of WD40 and twisted, then off they came.

The new Rineharts went on okay, but the heatshield fitment on the right side isn't the best. Don't think I can do much about that.

I also put the hi temp RTV silicone stuff on. Gotta go to my shop tomorrow to borrow their torque wrench- mine doesn't adjust high enough to do the muffler clamps.

Looking forward to riding tomorrow to check 'em out !!!

I use a barbell clamp, the kind with the set screw, to stretch my mufflers. just remove the set screw and its a perfect fit.

Just did mine tonight too. Used PB Blaster to help get the old ones off. Right came off with no problems, but the left took some effort. The Monster Rounds slipped right on.
