I thought 91-95 were all pretty much the same and interchangeable. Guess not...

Looking at the pic of your bike, it looks like the head pipes may need to be loosened and readjusted. Could be an illusion due to angle, but I'd try it to see if it gives you enough clearance.

Yeah, something in that pic above looks like it's off a bit. To me the rear pipe looks like its angled down ever so slightly which would cause the muffler portion to contact the front pipes muffler.

Ok. So because of the crossover pipe, I'm not going to get much. Can/should I loosen the clamp (35 & 36 in the diagram) at the pipe and spread it out a bit? I can probably still push that front muffler forward a tad. It is about a 1/4-3/8 from the shield, but the shield is loose and I can maybe push that back a tad too to keep it from contacting the muffler.

My suggestion is to loosen all connection points, adjust it where you need it and tighten back down.

OK. I'm going to give that a shot I just test fit the mufflers to the support bracket laying on a piece of cardboard, and it seems like they wont rub against each other, but the back of the front muffler is defiantly going to touch the bracket at the tip I have about 1/4" left to pull that nut all the way down and it is already touching the bracket, so it will be jammed tight to it. Is this going to be a rattle point? I guess I wont know until I try it! hopefully if it doesn't work, Dennis Kirk won't mind a little rub on the back of the front pipe when I return. Their tech is emailing with me and told me to go for it, so I should be covered.

Thanks again guys!

Matt

Could also cut the crossover pipe off flush and weld up the holes. Seen that one before, but it looks pretty good! I like the look. How much of a gap do you have?

If things are properly mounted, there should not be much movement to the mufflers. Especially if you go with that more rigid mounting bracket.

You are right about that crappy bent wire bracket. I ended up flipping the support on top of it to push the pipes up a bit and it worked out. I have about 3/8 between pipes.
