Default Roadkings
Hi all, have a 2013 roadking and have done some mods but I have run into a little trouble. Drilled out the stock mufflers and ordered the 3 " vance & hines quite baffles and the end of the muffler the baffles are way to loose and are close but just under 3 so there is some play.

Isn't there supposed to be a set screw / bolt for this at the end of the pipe? Maybe a shim / washer will do it.

Its been my experience the baffle should be a slide fit with a screw on the bottom of your pipe just to hold the baffle in place.
