got frnt side of my rinehart classic duals on with no problem. The back pipe on the other hand not so much. Anybody have a tip on how to tighten the bottom nut, there is no room to get a wrench or socket on it to tighten!
Can you loosen up the heatsheild and get a socket on that way?....That's what I had to do with my Cobra Power Sport Duals.
heat shield is not in the way, the classic has a sharp bend and comes out on the L side under the seat, I'll get it somehow. I was starting to get pissed off so I put down the tools and came in the house for a beer, Ill just finish it tomorrow.
I have a crows foot and bought a shorty 1/2" open/box end wrench that works wonders. The box end is 12 point on mine and it works pretty well. The other trick I used was to run the bottom one up as much as you can first. Should be able to do it with just your fingers. Then tighten the top one and come back to the bottom one and finish up with the top one.
Though a different bike I had trouble with the same nut because of the O2 sensor bung. I tried every sort of wrench, socket, universal, wobble, crowsfoot.......nothing could get a good bite. Then I saw my offset wrench that use to loosen tighten the distributer mount bolt on my old ford. It worked!
