Default Pipe issues

Installed new rinehart 2 into 1 pipes, in black, after getting them on I noticed that my brake lever is rubbing on the front head pipe. I only need about 1/8in to get it off, but don't know how to bend them out. Any ideas? It's on a 2010 ultra.

First, make sure the middle support is installed correctly. This can affect the position of the pipes. If everything is correct, loosen the all the mounting bolts, muffler clamps, and flange bolts at the head and move the pipe where it will not rub and retighten everything.
