I finally received the Drummer SS muffler today. I also bought the chin spoiler kit. While mounting the kit, I noticed the left bracket has two holes that mount under the side stand. But my side stand has three bolts. So if I mount it this way, the 3rd bolt will have a gap between the side stand frame and the bike frame. That can't be ok. I think it needs some sort of spacer to fill that area. Has anyone else run into this? If so, what was your solution? I sent a note to Kevin to get his input as well. Of course, the muffler didn't come with instructions that I could find in the box. So I went ahead and mounted the muffler. When I ran into this issue, I went online and found mounting instructions on the KDFab website that said to mount the bracket before the muffler. Grrrr. But that still leaves the issue of the 2 bolt bracket and the 3 bolt side stand. |

Simple solution: that pipe is beautiful! Skip the chin fairing! Sorry, best pic of the bike from the side that I have!

Kevin responded to my question with "Put a flat washer in there. It'll be fine." Simple enough. But Andy is right. As I held the chin spoiler in place, it just didn't look all that good. The bike looks much better with that muffler exposed. So it's going to stay naked for now. |

Yeah, sorry for not being of any actual help I thought I really wanted the chin fairing on it at first...but then the look grew on me and now...no way! |
