That did seem awful easy. Even with a hundred miles they should of been on there tougher than that. I have to wiggle, shake and beat my slip ons off everytime.

I think it could be done. Took me about 25 minutes to do both pipes on a new Dyna. Not bad if the originals slip of fairly easy like his did.

I just changed my stock mufflers on my Heritage with some Rush slip-on's and it wasn't THAT easy. Took quite a bit of jiggling to get the stock mufflers off. The new ones went on fairly easy thou. Took me (I'm slow at things like this) about an hour including removing the bags. Not bad!!

mine were very easy after i learned to warm the bike a little and remove them as they cooled.

he should be wearing rubber gloves so he does not get skin oils on the chrome.

Mine were easy, bike was cold, but it was fairly new when I changed them. I went with the rush slip-ons too. Man I love the way it sounds.

Definitely doesn't take an hour and a half. It is a pain in the *** though. When I threw a set on I was dripping sweat after wrestling the stock off. I was about to get the saw out.

Put my jackpot slip ons on tonight. The right one was hard to get off, but some shaking and twisting, and it was off in about 10 minutes. The left side slid right off. Took me about 45 minutes total. Don't forget to clean them off good with chrome polish afterwards to get all the skin oils off of them.
