Adjust Slip Ons For Stretched Bags Harley Davidson Touring

[@chairfitcamp]

I just installed a TAB 4.5 slip on along with baddad summit bag kit on my road glide. I realized that the pipe was touching my bag. Your video popped up and all I have to say is you’re the man. I appreciate you brother.

[@sikbaggers]

Very nice! Keep in mind that is kind of the old school way of doing it and you cant always get enough out of that turn. I designed these exhaust brackets last year for pushing the pipe over and they work amazing! Takes about 5 minutes to put them in, push the pipe over and tighten down. here is the link to the brackets www.advanblack.com/exhaust-adjustable-brackets-to-center-the-exhaust-with-stretched-bags-and-fender-extension.html and here is my video on installing them kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2bdYYijqcmlhNk Let me know if you have any questions...always here to help. Be safe..specially this weekend!!

[@sharpwrax]

Thank you! I needed to swap my slip-ons on my RK. Right side didn't sit central with my right 4.5" stretched Advanblack pannier. You're simple tip to get a rubber pipe wrench sorted it! I had pulled and twisted to no avail. Your how-to vids are excellent.

[@willial4]

Takes 5 minutes using the strap wrench as described. Great technique! I’m running the 4.5 exhaust and they look awesome with the stretched bags.

[@sikbaggers]

thanks man...pretty easy to do..hard to convince people over the phone that you can do it lol

[@Legmman81]

This video link should be added to the instruction page with the extended bags, great video!!!

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you..much appreciated!

[@chairfitcamp]

Heck yeah. Steven is the man

[@Tony_Spock]

Steve. Thanks for all your great videos and excellent customer support yesterday when I called Advanblack. Thanks to you and your tips I successfully installed the advanblack extended bags, fender extension, custom dynamics TriBar fender light, and adjusted my exhaust for a perfect fit and spacing. Your tips on the phone were also appreciated and they worked. I like your no nonsense videos, professional, and straight to the point with practical demonstrations. Also thanks to you, today I ordered my custom dynamics probeam low pro smoked tail light and Ciro 3D front and rear LED signals and bag blades. Cheers from Canada!

[@sikbaggers]

Hey tony glad you got it all lined out man! Sorry its taking me so long to get to this...been crazy with the Holidays coming up but im really glad you got it lined out! Have a great Christmas!

[@alanrusnak5937]

Thank you so much! I was completely baffled as to why my pipes were not centered and different on the right and left. After trying everything I was ready to return my pipes. Your simple fix worked perfectly and didn't require removal of the bags and only loosening one bolt. Awesome!

[@sikbaggers]

awesome man...glad it helped you!

[@dlusk916]

Great video! This link should be added to the purchase page. It would save everyone with larger pipes some time, frustration and questions.

[@sikbaggers]

You got it! Glad you liked the video!

[@tpierce3]

Who knew I'd find the exact video I need to fix the allignment of my slipon for my 2019 RGS. Had my left side slip on off center to the outside. This fixed it exactly. Thanks for the great video. Subscribed.

[@sikbaggers]

Glad it helped you and thank you for checking it out. Much appreciated

[@Hhhhhgggihgdd]

I just changed my pipes and was fighting to get the right side moved away from the bag without any luck , I knew if I turned the pipe it would move in or out but I didn't think about leaving the bracket bolts in and using a strap wrench , thanks for the video and KZbin so guys like me can do their own wrenching.

[@sikbaggers]

Hey Kevin! Im glad this helped. We use this method on all the bikes that come in here for bags...one or even both methods on some bikes...some exhaust will just fight you til the end but usually the bracket relocation trick does it if all else fails

[@Oheada]

thank you for your vids. Got a new 2020 street glide, put the stage 1 on, have adjusted the left side pipe so many times I have lost count. Running to Harbor Freight right now to get that strap. Thanks man!!!

[@114ebo]

I did it today exactly as you demonstrated and it worked. Thank you for the clear instructions.

[@sikbaggers]

Hey thank you for checking it out....glad it worked out for you...enjoy your bags!!

[@ozvampozvamp6319]

Brother you nailed it keep up the great work

[@jtrude]

Thanks Steve. I've been looking for this solution on numerous forums and my Harley dealership. Your solution worked perfectly. I still needed to add the rubber grommet extension Advanblack recommended but at least the pipes are centered.

[@sikbaggers]

nice man...yeah its not to bad of an adjustment you just have to take some time and get it tweaked right. Almost every bike I have worked on has needed some sort of adjustment to the pipes and or bags. Let me know if you need any help with anything.

[@dahankstr]

So glad I found this video. Just got my JNR air ride on and my SVT’s are a tad close to the bags. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@sikbaggers]

Hey Hank...glad it helped you man!

[@DrJLF]

This video was extremely helpful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@oceguedacustomspluscaraudi6534]

Steve you make the best DIY video’s big help thanks

[@sikbaggers]

Much appreciated man! Thanks for checking it and im glad it helped! Be safe!

[@Bonezz024]

Always love your videos man, thank you. 2 questions though 1) You said that 2 into 1 pipes can't do this. I hit a dip last week and it knocked mine out of whack. Are you saying not to try and twist it back into place? 2) What kind of pipes do you have? I love the end tips on yours way more than the ones I have.

[@sikbaggers]

you can slightly turn your two into 1 but not as much as a dual exhaust...if it moved out of whack you can push it back..it just doesn't usually go as far as the duals..the pipes on this bike are Rush Racing Big Louis and their slash-cut tips ..some of the best-sounding pipes I've owned.

[@DS-zj9nv]

Thanks for the video. I could not figure out what i was doing wrong.

[@sikbaggers]

Glad the video helped DS!

[@Matt-ck5xs]

Great video, solved my problem. Thank you!

[@preachermanbe]

I hope I get an answer for this question my exhaust sticks up close to the bottom of my bags I was wondering if there's a way that I could push him down away from my bags I did buy the new brackets that you sell to adjust them inside and outside but I'm having an issue with them clearing from the bottom of the bag

[@sikbaggers]

the only thing you can do is buy aluminum or stainless steel spacers ...check ace hardware or local hardware store for something like that...youll need longer bolts too

[@semperfi1566]

Great video, Steave i have a 2015 road glide ultra CVO can you please post the link of the bags that I need for my bike and the fender extension I can’t find the fender extension for my bike not painted

[@sikbaggers]

Arer you wanting fully stretched bags 4.5? and matching extension?

[@semperfi1566]

@@sikbaggers yes

[@leebellomy9107]

My bike is a 01 doesn't have the rubber in the back bracket ?

[@iceman7262]

Again great video. I love the mirrors on your bike. Can you tell me were you purchased them?

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you Gary...Yes they are Krator Reapers ...actually got them from amazon here www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKSN0CE I have had no issues with mine...had them for 2 seasons now.

[@jasonbookheimer2651]

Awesome tips. I’m about to put Rinehart’s 4 1/4” on mine (with the stage 4). Oh and after all that Ciro you put on your about to literally have a ton of chrome.

[@sikbaggers]

Nice man! Thats going to be a beast for sure! Yes a loot of chrome from Ciro ...I wished they made the other 3 pieces I need and im afraid the kuryakyn parts wont line up with these if I order them.

[@jdkmboy]

Awesome video, MUCH needed! Thanks for the how-to.. BTW.. where can we get that henway strap wrench?

[@sikbaggers]

Thanks man You can find them at Hazard Fraught right next to the supdogs and butfers .

[@clintfurey7613]

Great video. Glade i found it was going crazy trying to figure it out. Thanks for the video.

[@krismorgan01]

It worked on the left side of my bike but the right side won’t fit and it seems that when I turn the exhaust it stops and won’t go any further. Any suggestions?

[@johnl563]

Great video! I have about a 1/4” gap between the bags and my Rinehart slipons. Is that enough gap so it won’t melt the bags?

[@sikbaggers]

Yes...1/4 inch great! youll be fine...ride safe brother!

[@johnl563]

Steven Housden thanks for the reply.

[@johngrant4076]

Hey Steve my name is John G. I've been following ur videos for a while. One thing that caught my eye was the new tour trunk liners. Just waiting to see if you going to come out with so.e orange stitching. A reply would be grateful thanks.

[@sikbaggers]

John Grant hey John we are pricing out different color stitching and we will see what the public wants as we move forward with new colors. I'm not sure when it will be though. Just keep watching here or even on the website .. We will announce it when we have new colors.

[@stanwerner7484]

Steve, how far back should the slips on go, should they go right to the end of the bags?

[@sikbaggers]

Some do..some go past the bags...not all slip ons are the same.

[@stanwerner7484]

great instructional video--thank you

[@sikbaggers]

Thank you Stan!

[@nealmiller3602]

Hey Steve, what is that 'spacer' you seem to have on the sides of your extended fender. From the side view it looks like a fabric but from the back view it looks like color matched plastic?? thanks

[@sikbaggers]

Hey Neal those are actually plasma bars from Custom Dynamics. These are the 8" brake/turn signal versions. They stick to the sides of your fender extension for a nice clean look and add the much needed brake light in the rear.

[@169armyjoker]

Lifesaver... thank you

[@sikbaggers]

Glad it helped!

[@mopthe2590]

I have 2 into 2 pipes with an X center. How would I turn the pipes to move them in and if that doesn’t work how do I shim the bags? Thanks!

[@sikbaggers]

im not sure without seeing the pipes however shimming the bag is easy. we send rubber cushion shims with the bags and you simply remove the rear rubebr cushion from the bag and place the shim in its place on the bag rail. You can attach it however you want. Some guys glue it on the rail, some use zip ties, gorilla tape etc..this shims the bag out slightly from the exhaust.

[@leightondavis5778]

Hi Steve Just wondering if you can help me I’ve got the advanblack stretched saddlebags but can’t get one of the leads to shut properly have you got any tips for me Got the same problem with the tow path cleared that doesn’t shut properly Cheers

[@sikbaggers]

Yes sir..I see it happen quite often actually. there doesnt seem to be much play in the hinge when youre installing the 4 screws but there is...and all it takes is a little tweak to offset it. Best thing to do is remove the two outer screws from your tether...slightly loosen the two middle screws and let the lid fall into a relaxed position...open and close the lid fully a few times...when its seating correctly and latching then, and i know this is the hard part, slightly open the lid far enough to get your hand in there and tighten those middle screws back..open it and put your other 2 back in. That should do the trick. You may have to do it a few times but youll get it. The last part of your question im not sure I follow what you mean by the tow path cleared?

[@DSNYSANMAN]

Hey Steve, I'm waiting for my silver lowers that I ordered directly from AdvanBlack and I've trying calling them directly, but no one ever picks up, wondering, do you have the same problem when you call them up?

[@sikbaggers]

Roberto, sometimes its hard to get through over there. Call me at the service number today and ill try to find out something for you. (618)3054324

[@barlingboy]

mine is fixed, thanks for tips.

[@sikbaggers]

sorry for the delay, catching up from our Sturgis trip...grateful to have helped sir,.

[@iceman7262]

I have a 2018 Street Glide Special all black with stock handle bars . Would these work out for me?

[@sikbaggers]

Yes sir...check these out right here, they are black. www.amazon.com/Krator-Custom-Mirrors-Adapters-Davidson/dp/B016YZZWPC You can buy the plugs for your existing mirrors if you choose to remove the mirrors from your inner fairing and use these. They just mount on the pre existing holes in your perches.
