I see you got it on but that you still might want the pipe lower. Yes? You might recall I lowered my mufflers and it was relatively simple to put an extra bit of mounting plate. You just need 4 holes - 2 to go on the bike and 2 to mount the pipe to. To lower the muffler I cut about 2 inches off the join in pipe and had a straight bit of pipe welded in. You perhaps need the reverse. In any case, you shouldn't need to touch the headers.

Bull don't cut the headers .. anything is a better option than doing that mate. Brackets , mounting plates whatever are easy fab for muffler shop or anyone working with steel. Sure perseverance will get it fitted up as the others have stated.

Thanks Mate!
I am getting there and no header cutting shall commence.
May have to enlarge the two holes in the muffler mounting plate a skosh so I can get the can low as possible.

Put the mount plate for the muffler on the outside of the frame rail and the boss is not a problem

DUH!!!
My stupid!
Thanks, Amigo.

For gawd sake get it on and start the ***r up. The suspense is killing me.

Not too good a pix. My very first photo with my new smart phone.
Just took a little more determination. Thanks for all the help.
Sounds pretty good - a little quieter than the small stainless can I had on it, but it barks just fine with a twist of the throttle!
I made a m4 audio but guess we can't upload these.
Too bad because it sounds AWESOME!!!

OK, Mates!
Taking a tip from @albertaduke's neighbor, I broke out the 2# sledge.
Using my rubber mallet as a buffer against the inside baffle at the end of the muffler, I whacked it forward a few times!
Got it pretty darn close - EXCEPT . . . how do you deal with the welded boss on the inside of the forward mount?
The muffler mount plate is flat and straight and the rear mount surface (right rear foot peg) is set about .5 inch outboard of the forward mount position?

as they say in the oilfield DONT FORCE IT JUST GET A BIGGER HAMMER

Just took my old Jardines off the bike, 5 mins job done. I notice the front cyl is rich, middle looks perfect and the rear looks lean.
Just wondering if this is to do with the header length on the jars?
I will get the dyno shop the check it out when I get the CES pipe on.

Thanks for that - another question for the tuner.
Raining here - shall take first ride with my new CES tomorrow.

That 1olbull must be a bloody good mechanic! Look at the size of his hammers in that pic.

Glad you sorted it out mate. I like the yellow stripes BTW.
Do you call it the bumblebee?
