Here is the best way i could figure out to wrap the pipes...



...stick an axe handle in my vice and stuck the axe handle in the can!
Used some cheapo stainless tie-wraps from Harbor Freight to secure it.
Took a coupla tries to get the wrap half-*** decent.
Hopefully it stays on for awhile - or i'm gonna get a guy at Ironworks to re-do it!

(Try PM'ing.)

No idea... the parts guy at my Indy kept calling V&H and they kept making excuses.

I had the pipes on order since Feb. and they finally shipped August 1st... on the bike now.

On the v&h website they say fitment: 04-13... I dont know what a significance different would be to make them fit one year and not the next.

Came out sweet Mike. Glad you caught the wraps midway with the ties since my wrap fell off
