Default Samson Longtail Install Help

Installing longtails on my Heritage. Did good on the hard part. Now have a question on brackets. Maybe brain fart ,but can't figure out how coil bracket goes on. While we're at it, which other backets are right and left? Thanks

One bracket goes on either side of the frame. They are both the same. the spacers go between the bracket and the pipes and a bolts goes from the pipes, through the bracket with a bolt on the back on the. At least if these are true duals you are talking about. If you post a pic that would make it a bit easier.

By coil brackets you mean the brackets that hold the pipes together? Slip one on the end of each end tip and tighten it down to attach to each header.

This is the bracket. Directions say "Remove the coilmounting bracket under the seat. Install the new bracket provided and reattach the coil using stock hardware".

Downward. Once you put them on, you'll see there's only one way they're gonna work and still have your pipes evenly horizontal.
