I need to ask ya, have heard this conversation many times,, Do ya use new clamps every time you change your rear tire? Just wondering?
I don't. Mostly because I've never seen a "clamp" holding on the rear tire. But, even HD says to use new clamps every time you take them off your pipes.
Also, make sure you get the clamps on the slip-on all the way. It should in no way extend out over the head pipe.
