Funny...I just ran into this video after my having installed a new set of Kirk Drag Pipes on my own Sporty last night 😆👍!!! I'm runnin' a 1990 883 Screaming Eagle 4 Speed with chain drive. (They were a bitch to put on but everything fit and they ARE loud but they sound the way a Harley should) . I'll be subscribing to your Channel that's for sure 😎👌.

Hello, I have a couple of questions, I hope you can help me, a while ago I bought a pair of exhausts like yours, once installed I began to hear a leak from the front exhaust, I put a new seal and it was solved, but I noticed that the nut At the bottom it does not adjust correctly, there is an angle left, I tried to correct it and what happened is that the exhaust was completely stuck to the frame, I was able to adjust it again and the exhaust is barely two millimeters away from the frame and the nut remains with the angle, Did something similar happen to you? Did your front exhaust stay too close to the frame? Thanks greetings.

[@aharleyandavstrom5829]

Yes my front pipe is against the frame. I know that is not correct but so far I have not had any problems with it. I quess we get what we paid for. I know that does not help much. I did not have any problems with the nuts at the being at an angle.

@@aharleyandavstrom5829 It is very helpful, thanks, I can see that the problem comes from the v-factor factory, do you have to be tightening your nuts or is that not necessary? I think what follows is to make a small dent in the exhaust so that it fits correctly without colliding with the frame, greetings from México.

@@marcodavila3858 I have not had to re tighten the nuts, so far they have stayed in place. Greetings from USA. Tenga un buen dia!

I just installed the same set of Dennis Kirk Drag Pipes last night and the front pipe on mine also is just about touching the frame. I remember reading about this same complaint in the "Product Reviews" for these pipes. I believe it's in the way they're being manufactured, not of any fault of your instillation. (You get what you pay for they say 🫤). But overall...They do the job and sound great. Too bad there's only a Single layer of chrome....I expect em' to turn blue soon 😂!!!

What brand? sound pretty good

[@aharleyandavstrom5829]

They were from Dennis Kirk (V-Factor )1 3/4" Pipes. They were cheap but good enough lol.
