    Gents,

    Just about to get stuck into fitting a second hand set of big shots to my 2009 Dyna.

    First thing I noticed is the exhaust mounting arrangement is different.

    Anyone else have any tips/warnings/things to be aware of  before I get started??

     

    Cheers

    mounting arrangement is different to standard factory pipes or different to other year fitment? if you have the correct brackets for your pipes and year it is a very easy install

    Panicked initially when I noticed the difference between brackets but a quick glance at the V&H website settled me down.
    Gonna get cracking now.

    They came with instructions right? Usually you have to swap a bolt or two on the tranny to mount the new bracket. Getting rid of the long ugly standard muffler bracket is a huge plus

    oh well.
    it was all going too smoothly. Removed old system after a minor struggle with over-tightened O2 sensor.
    followed instructions and removed allen bolt from transmission, proceed to try and fit new mounting bracket....
    holes don't line up......bollox !!
    after a bit of nut scratching I go to trusty internet and look at V&H website.
    I've been sold a system for a 1991-2005 Dyna, pre 6 speed box. Brackets are slightly different.
    Wondering if exhaust system is same for 6 speed box and only mounting brackets are different?
    Pissed off as was looking forward to annoying neighbours with new pipes !!
