Changing out slip-ons.

Looks like my VH Twin Slash slip-ons have shipped. When I change them out do i need to replace the clamps or the gaskets. Looks like a fairly simple task. Just want to have everything neccessary for the install. Thanks for any advice.

V&H will ship new clamps with the slip ons. The hardest part is getting the old ones off. Just keep wiggling and pulling.

yup, new clamps. As Armstronges said, V&H does ship with new clamps. IMO they look just like the HD clamps you would buy at your dealer. Probably coming out of the same factory?

enjoy your new pipes!

Ride Safe!

+1 on the hardest part. Use a good rubber mallet. Also, be sure to clean the new pipes VERY well and dry them to avoid discoloring the new pipes once they are on. V&H gives good step by step directions with the package.

Enjoy!
