Being the noob that I am, I have a few questions in regard in installing these. I went to test fit the left side so I could see just what needs to be done with the kick stand, so here goes....
1. These pipes have the flange attached to the chamber (floats), most after mkt pipes I see, the flange attaches to the head, then the pipe slips on and is held in place by springs. With these is it safe to assume I just install exhaust crush gaskets along with some Permatex, etc. and that's that? Man, the inside nuts are hard as hell to get to with these.
2. Attaching silencers: Are these just a compression fit, do I make my own gasket, or lather some Permatex on them first.
3. Wth are these O-rings for?
Thanks again for everyone's input/help.

id use some ultra back of 'the right stuff' to seal the cans.

as far as the flange nuts, these work wonderful:

when this link expires, look up 8mm vw exhaust nuts brass

they are 11mm hex and will clear any flange with room to spare.  :cheers:

Perfect, thx. for those.
Still not sure what those o rings are for. I saw somewhere online that certain cans use them internally when you take one of the ends off, maybe it's that. Took one side off, nope, not there. The other side that attaches to the chamber, spent a little bit of time trying to get that off, wouldn't budge. I asked Dogster, crickets.
By the way, the one I test fitted, it fit perfect. Attaches on the inside of rear foot peg.
The kickstand, no way to hell that's fitting, even with the relocation kit. I bent the living hell out of it, grinded down the relocation kit some so the stand would slide up higher, before it just hung down too much for my tastes. The problem, well, it's so fricken curved that the bike will stand up, but it leans too much now. Ill figure that out later, too cold in garage.
This bike is Nickle and diming me to death. What started out as me fixing the cracked gauge pod, well, it's now a full-blown project. I took the gauge off in nov, first thing I did, heated the cracked side up, bent it, jb welded it into place, and painted it. That turned into me realizing that the speedo was from an xs. Bought a used gauge, ripped both apart, cleaned them to hell, look almost brand new now. Went to put that back on, could not remember for the life of me where the bulbs go. I labeled most, but then realized half were burnt out when I bench tested them. Found a post, ordered some leds.
Im yammering, too much coffee.

The o-rings are for sealing the silencers... At leas that's what it looks like.

What does the inlet side of the silencer look like?

Bingo! Sometimes I really wonder about myself.
