Go to the Kawanow website and then to the Gadget link. Then to "Reed valve disabling instructions" Instead of using marbels I used a small cork, works very well.

. I'm very pleased with the looks and sound. Om the test drive tonight I thought the bike runs good. Very minimal backfiring on deceleration only. Not sure if I will need a cobra or power comander. Should know better over the next week. Thanks for all the help here at VDR.

I had the same problem when I installed my RoadHouse Dooley's. I put a 1/2" spacer behind the bracket which moved it out. I do not remember if I had to replace the bolts. Be sure to use some blue locktite on all of those bolts because they WILL work themselves loose.

Here on section 5 last picture shows the bracket.

- April 10, 2011, 19:11:39 PMQuestion for those who have done this installation. I'm about to instal the left side bracket to hold the muffler on. Direct adding it to the frame make the bottom just about touch the rear wheel drive housing with out any weight on the bike. It looks too close to me. Sitting on the bike separates the two plenty. Did any of you run into this? Did you make and modifications?
