i have my bike on the jack putting all my front end components on and i walked behind the bike and noticed my exhaust tips are not sticking out under the bags the same. they are 3/4'' difference the clutch side of the bike is shorter than the brake side of the bike. i dont think anyone will ever notice it but its killing me, im wondering if they are all like that or is it just my bike. i have stock head pipe and 4'' rush slip ons. this is 2011 flhx im thinking its time to pull out some tools and cut and weld it all back like it should be

 

I'm not sure it's a complete 3/4", but mine aren't EXACTLY even either... not concerned with it at all... but I'm not THAT type-A.

 

I had to go out to the garage and look at mine. Mine are equal, but I have aftermarket exhaust.

 

You noticed that too! Mine were off by a 1/2" (1986) but similar WTF. Used a piece of 2/4, pounder her in. It worked to a 1/8" off, no-one but me will care!

 

had the same issue so i cut the pipe and slid the cans on evenly now even on both

 

Maybe the slipons are on each pipe a different depth? I check this whenever I install my mufflers. You should be able to adjust this by loosening the muffler clamps and mounting bolts under the bags. I center mine by making sure the hanger under the bags is centered between the two brackets on each muffler, if that makes sense.

 

My SE FatShotz are about a 1/4 inch off, but it took some pushing, shoving, twisting, and pounding to get them there.

 

There is quite a bit of room to adjusts them if you loosen the clamps.

 

Pull the bags and look at where the rear hanger is in the rubber mount. Odds are pretty good ya just need to loosen the clamp and slide the slip on, on a little further. Retighten of course, but might just do it. No welds needed and if you need to cut, do it in small increments, guess how i know.....

You can adjust the mufflers at the clamps where they connect to the headers. That's why the saddlebag muffler suports are slotted.
