VANCE & HINES EXHAUST INSTALLATION

Locate the 5/16 x 2.0” hex bolt (supplied) and insert this bolt with a 5/16” washer (supplied) into the top hole in bracket 398-P. Insert the 11/16” spacer between the bracket and transmission on the 5/16” x 2.0” hex bolt. Using the two remaining 5/16” x 1.5 hex bolts and 5/16” flat washer combinations (supplied) attach the bracket to the transmission. (Figure 1)
Remove head pipes and heat shields from protective packaging. Place each heat shield on a non-abrasive surface such as a blanket or carpet. Using a felt tip pen, mark outside edge of each heat shield to show location of hose clamp mounting clips (Figure 2).
Lay head pipes into heat shields and loosely install hose clamps by feeding tail end of clamp into heat shield clips (Figure 2). Take note of screw head direction (Figure 3). Screw head should be accessible when system is installed on motorcycle for adjustment purposes. Use #20 hose clamps for head pipe areas and #28 hose clamps for muffl er areas. NOTE: Do not tighten at this time.
Install circlips and flanges from the stock system onto both new head pipes (Figure 4).
Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads of the oxygen sensors and install them into the new head pipes. NOTE: Be careful not to get anti-seize on sensor tip, it may affect sensor function.
Using stock flange nuts, carefully install head pipes into exhaust ports, starting with the rear cylinder. Assistance may be required. NOTE: Do not tighten at this time.
Slide nut plate inside bracket that is welded to backside of muffler bodies (Figure 5). While holding nut plates in place, attach muffler bodies to mounting bracket 398P using four 5/16”x 5/8” flange head bolts (supplied). Leave them loose at this time.
NOTE: Muffler body brackets should align with top edge of mounting bracket 398-P.
Tighten cylinder port exhaust flange nuts on front and rear cylinders while making sure pipes are parallel.
Tighten the 5/16 flange bolts on both mufflers.
Tighten all heat shield clamps. NOTE: muffler bodies should protrude from heat shields by 1/4” (Figure 6).
Feed wire for front oxygen sensor through frame and into plastic holder on frame. Plug sensor into stock wiring connector. Snap plastic holder closed to hold connector in place.
Put toothed edge of wiring holder into slot in frame. Re-install rectifier so that it fits under tooth of wiring holder, keeping it in place in frame. Tighten both bolts.
Feed connector for rear oxygen sensor through frame and into underseat compartment. Plug sensor into stock wiring connector.
Re-install seat.
Check for adequate clearance between all exhaust system components and motorcycle accessories prone to heat damage.
After installation and before starting motorcycle, completely clean pipes and mufflers with warm soapy water and a clean soft cloth that will not leave a residue.
NOTE: Any residue, oil, or fingerprints will stain the chrome when the metal heats up.
Be sure to re-check and tighten all hardware before starting your motorcycle
