Congratulations, you have purchased the finest exhaust system available for your motorcycle. Your V&H “Race Shop” exhaust is designed and crafted for performance, quality, and style. Please follow the instructions below, check exhaust system for missing or damaged parts, and if you need assistance, please contact our technical support line (317) 852-9057.
FOR CLOSED COURSE COMPETITION USE ONLY. NOT INTENDED FOR STREET USE
Remove the OEM exhaust system entirely, including stock exhaust gaskets.
Install the supplied copper exhaust gaskets (Part No. 54FR10). Use small amount of grease to hold them in place during installation.
Install left hand exhaust assembly (Part No. K323FB) first. Note: It is easier to install with two people.
Install right hand exhaust assembly(Part No. K322FB).
Install the supplied muffler hanger bracket (Part No. 1328) using the supplied bolt clamps (Part No. 5204K13). An M8 – 1.25 threaded hole is located on the back of the muffler hanger bracket for use to mount to the frame. Ref. Figure 1 Note: 1) Muffler hanger bracket pre-assembled. 2) Mounting bar and M8 bolt not included. Figure 1 for reference purposes only.
Two mid support brackets are included (Part No. 1326 & 1327). These are intended for additional mounting locations on C&J frame or similar; attach them using supplied barrel band clamps (Part No. A339HW)
Use medium strength Loctite (not supplied), torque any mounts to factory specs.
Clean all fingerprints from the exhaust using a contact cleaner (or other non-flammable cleaner). Fingerprints will leave stains on the pipe once the motorcycle is started.
You are now ready to start your motorcycle.
After initial ride, re-torque all hardware as required.
When installing a new set of stainless pipes, make sure your hands are clean and free of oil. After installation, thoroughly clean pipes with a soft cloth and cleaning solvent that will leave no residue (acetone glass cleaner, alcohol, etc.) before starting the motorcycle.
It is considered normal for stainless steel exhaust systems to discolor due to heat.
High performance engine tuning utilizing a dyno will likely result in severe discoloration.
Avoid long periods of idling as this can cause discoloration. Intake leaks can cause the engine to run lean and overheat; this could lead to discoloration.
Make sure there are no exhaust leaks at the junction of the exhaust pipes and cylinder head. We recommend replacing gaskets if they are worn.
In California, in order to meet Air Resources Board emissions requirements, certain aftermarket part applications have been identified as replacements, and others have received ARB Executive Orders. All other emissions related aftermarket parts are for competition use only. A list of replacement parts and EO parts, and corresponding fitment is provided at vanceandhines.com/California.
