V&H did same thing to me when I put on my true duals. I know how that feels BUT THEN, I found the clamp, guess I don't know how it feels, actually. Wouldn't a clamp froms Adavnced auto do the trick for now?

That blows. Sorry to hear you've been sick, too.

Sorry, but I'm with Wilburz on this one ... no baling wire? ... no duct tape?

Actually I did do a cursory check , and there was 1 bracket in the box....you'd think for the amount of cash V&H charges they would give something better than a photocopied set of instructions....I failed to realized 2 brackets were required...

I am amazed that V&H does photocopied instructions as well. I figured tthey could at least afford a photocopier that was clear enough for us to read them.

Glad you're feeling better Jim.

This is the missing bracket. Hope they ship it quickly...

The V&H muffler clamps are crap, and will brake.

I would suggest getting two new H-D Torca clamps: 65283-94 and torque to 45-60 FT. LBS.

Maybe it's meant to be for the reason you need some proper rest to get to feel better. Then you can really stack up the miles! There's a light at the end of this dank tunnel youre in brother. In the mean time theres always FB Mafia Wars!

Phlip96 (like your new avatar)is right. Your sick, so stay home. Us healthy riders don't need you sickies messing up our rides. And I cannot believe with all the empty beer cans around your place that you could not have fashioned a bracket with an empty and some duct tape. Suck it up and quit whining. PS - Hope you feel better.
