Default odd question

I'm trying to clean up the back end of my bike & i was wondering if anyone knows about a mounting system that comes off the bottom of the rear fender to hold up mufflers on a 1989 FLHS true dual exhaust instead of using the rail under the saddlebags?
I removed my saddle bags & I'm modifying the bike today to remove the front & rear crash bars. Slim her down a bit but I hope im explaining this well enough. I have chrome rails that run down the each side of the fender with a bracket that goes from that rail to the rail above the exhaust which is under the saddlebags. So I want to eliminate the rail for the bags & just use the one on the fender to hold the muffler up

What you need to get is the Street glide brackets.. It will eliminate all that extra metal your talking about.
