I bought a D&D muffler for my '00 S3 to replace my cracked Vance & Hines one. I know I need the Y hanger for the front but I'm not sure about the rear since the V&H was installed when I bought the bike. I'm thinking there was a stock rear bracket that I now need to mount up the D&D? If so, anyone have one they'd part w/? Thanks, Trish | ||

when i bought the hanger upgrade kit it came with the rear hanger, i don't know if it's the one you need but you're welcome to it, i have a force pipe and it has it's own little setup. | ||

Good to hear. I've got the new hanger on the way so hopefully I should be set. Thanks for your help Tripp. | ||

Trish, If you buy the complete Y-bracket kit(Part# S1001.01A1) it's going to also come with this odd little plate with two threaded holes. It's meant to relocate the voltage regulator on the M-2 (and maybe the S-3... I don't know... I threw mine away. I have an S-1). Thought you might appreciate the heads-up. | ||

If you happen to just have the Y-bracket mount (no kit) the updated voltage regulator mounting bracket is available separately for about $5. | ||

Well since you asked about the rear lets start there... On the rear engine mount (that holds the swing arm too) there are two rubber bushings inside onwhich a "Z" bracket is installed. This is where the stock exhaust and most other slip-ons install. BUT On a V&H it is removed and V&H's bracket installed... I believe you need this bracket to install the D&D, most V&Hs I have seen installed forgot to remove the Z bracket so you may be in luck. | ||

All I know is that the tabs on the D&D do not line up with the rear bracket that is on there right now--it looks like the Z bracket had been replaced w/ the V&H one.  This is what I have ordered for the front from American Sport Bike, part no. 17036. I really do hope it comes w/ the rear hanger as Tripp said (for the price, it should). Y bracket, Z bracket, L bracket...I just wanna ride!!! | ||

Trish, Kitten: please- this is America. we say "the" bracket, not "z" bracket, here.... | ||

Does the bracket on there now look like a offset U with a slot in it? If so then yes you need a Z Bracket. If Dave is not able to get you one right away I do have one layin around in the garage... | ||

Trish, How bad is your old V&H? I'm looking for one for a project. I may have the bracket you need. Maybe we can work out a trade? Brad | ||

Thanks for all the help--I do have the offset U bracket so I need the Z bracket, which I ordered today.  I do have someone interested in the Vance&Hines already but if he doesn't take it, I'll get in touch w/ you Brad. It's not beyond repair. Oui oui, Tramp! | ||

Brad, I have a V&H off my M2 lying around. Let me know if you need it. | ||

Tim, Long time no see!!! How you been? I'm interested in your V&H. I have a race header for my S2, I need a V&H to modify it to fit, I'll need to shorten it and remove the elbow. Let me know! Thanks Brad |
