V&H straightshot & passenger footboard problems on a 2011 softail deluxe

[jeod]

Hi all

I just installed vance & Hines straight shots on my HD softail deluxe 2011 and I have a problem with the passenger footboards that do not fit on the right side where the pipes are
Can anyone help me or know a solution go this problem?

Thanks in advance

Best to contact V&H at 1st chance, but need to check a few things while you're waiting:

1. Make sure part# matches your bike (make/model/year).
2. Re-check instructions for correct installation procedures.
3. Check for any type of peg/board extension/adapter.

I'm sure there's a easy fix - good luck & post some pics when you're done.

Thanks man,

I've been looking for alternatives since Friday without any luck.

I'll contact V&H on Monday, if they do not offer a solution I'll install the original pies back, since I have the footpeg look on my deluxe, even if I love the new sound of the bike now...

I'll post some pics if somebody finds a solution(preferable V&H)

Thanks!

STRAIGHTSHOTS HS SLIP-ONS: Vance Hines: Performance Exhaust Systems

Click on link and look at instructions. Might the black bracket in figure 1 be installed improperly??? Or proper part number for exhaust???

Thanks!

The pipes are: STRAIGHTSHOTS: Performance Exhaust Systems

and not only the slip-ons.

The slip-ons will be an alternative if I cannot manage to get the footbard installed, but to install the slip-ons I need to re-install the stock pipes and them buy the straightshot slip-ons... and trash the straightshots

I was assured that the pipes were compatible with the footbaords at my HD dealer, not truth after all.

It looks likes the foot peg is on the bike. Again check part number...:s

I am thinking that the pipes are incorrect for your model...

yes,

Not pb with the footpeg, the pb is with the footboard (I cannot yet post links), but you can search by HD part number: 50377-07A

the footboard on the right side does not fett by half cm, if I force the footborad I'll smash the upper pipe.

jeod; is there a way for you to get a pic uploaded...maybe to your garage...so we can get a visual.

a few more and one on the left side, as you can see the footboards are made for this softail, the footpegs are ridiculous...

Thanks for your help!
