Damn you Bobby, just when I think I have found the sweet spot, you go and show me I can take it up another notch. Now to start looking for parts and getting ready for the winter.
Other than adding the drop kit to the front end, did you do anything to help with the quality and performance of the front suspension do to the added weight?
Also, I like to see how you have the exhaust mounted to the bag supports, I have been wanting to go the true dual route for a while now, just couldn't think of a way to hang them.

Blue angel ... Other than the progressive lowering springs , I did move up to the screaming eagle fork oil for the heavier weight .. Didn't figure there would be an issue considering up to 2014 all the naggers had a 41mm fork anyway .. Those 49's are pretty beefy !
As far as the muffler mounts , I tried to get ya some pics this am but it's all black on black on black , ya can't see **** I'm them . I drew ya a couple rough sketches to show where I positioned the mounts .. The "how I did it " installed pipes and slid muffler on , supported muffler with bike jack ,put rubber grommet in support block and attached to muffler . I then slid it back till it made contact with my rails . Small tack weld on top then unbolted from muffler , pulled out grommet , remove rails .. I then ran a full bead on both top and bottom, painted, and reinstalled
As you can see here , it isn't traditionally centered under rail due to the location of the mounting points on mufflers . It is just the top edge touching the bottom edge of rail which is why I kinda went overkill on the weld
