help-exhaust pipes misaligned
recently got a 06 ultra. everything is great except minor cosmetic problem. viewed from the back one pipe definitely lower than the other. off by at least half inch. i see the mufflers are supported by the bracket/rail that supports the hard bags. can this rail be adjusted downward without messing up the saddle bag. also thought i could put a couple of washers at the mount point but wont get enough adjustment. any help will be appreciated. p.s. before i took delivery i was sure i would keep my gsxr1000. this ultra is so great i dont miss the video game ride of the suzuki. i think it is going up for sale in the spring, and i wont look back.

You didn't mention which pipe is lower. My RK was like that after the dealer changed my back tire. They take the two small bolts out under the saddle bag, loosen the clamp on the crossover pipe and swing it out of the way to get to the axle. You may be able to loosen that clamp and get the movement that you need. The other thing you could do is take it back to the dealer and let them fix it. It just takes a little time to figure out where to tweek the alignment.

RE: help-exhaust pipes misaligned
You can loosen the clamp on the exhaust connection located directly under the front of the seat. It is a 9/16" socket and there is no need to remove any shields. Then, you can swing the left muffler up or down to get them even. You will probably have to remove the left saddlebag and possibly the left muffler to get then even before reinstalling.
