So why didn't/does'nt HD put in a drain hole? The way those stock pipes are slanted, they are just rain catchers - especially the rightside one (due to left bike lean at park.)

Mine was rusted right outta the box........no rain needed.

A fine grit sandpaper job and some hi-heat black paint fixed mine right up.
