Fitting V&H Pipes

    Ok, Just got a new set of V&H Q-Series Double Barrel pipes

    Was just mucking around in the shed trying to fit them and it looks like the flanges dont line up properly on the heads

    The back one fits fine but the front is about a half inch too short

    Anyone got any tips to fitting these things? Does the footpeg have to come off for fitting or any other tips would be good

    They are the right part number for the bike so I'm sure I'm missing something

    A few of us had the same problem fitting a set of supertrapps to a rockerc. What should have been a half hour job took us 3 friggin hours. It took a lot of jiggling around and a bit of gentle persuasion with a punch on the flange to line everything up. Different pipes I know but it helped having two people. One lining up the rear and the other on the front.
