Hello All,
Is there any reason you shouldn't turn the band clamps so the nuts are facing down at the 8:30 to 9:30 o clock position vs being at 12:00 o clock position when being viewed from the rear of the bike and not being accessible to remove the muffler.

To me it looks some engineer didn't have his brain engaged. When you have to pull the rear support hanger and the oil supply line to remove the muffler....Duh what was he thinking about that day.....

By installing the rear clamps as pictured you can swap mufflers in minutes, and do not have to break oil feed lines loose. What a PITA the factory install was


15 min. can swap
