Installation Instructions
1. Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting the installation. Make sure the bike is secure on the sidestand or
ideally a service lift.
2. Loosen the clamps that holds the connector pipes to the headers under the bike.
3. Remove the bolts that attach the connector pipes to the footpegs.
4. Remove the hardware that holds the stock canisters at the passenger footpeg brackets. Take off the canisters.

5. Slide the S-bends onto the end of the headers (you will NOT be using the gaskets), using the T-bolt clamp to attach them to
the headers. Our s-bends DO NOT attach to the bottom of the rearsets. Leave loose for now.
6. Install VALE adapter kit using the supplied kit instructions.
7. Place a bead of the hi-temp sealant on the outside edge of the s-bend that goes into the canisters. Slide the TBR canisters
onto the end of the S-bend pipes. Wipe off the excess sealant that will squeeze out.
8. Carefully slide the canister clamps over the canisters. (Note: The stainless steel canister clamp and the name badge on
the canister come from the factory with a clear plastic protective film. Please remove this film before operation.) You may
need to twist and turn the S-bends a little to get it in the right place. Locate both tabs of the canister clamps outside of the
passenger footpeg bracket. Use the stock hardware to secure it. Leave loose for now.
9. Make sure everything is aligned and tighten all hardware. Affix the connector springs to the muffler.
10. Before you run the bike, clean off all fingerprints and dirt, as any oily residue will etch the metal and become somewhat
permanent when the system gets hot. Run the bike and enjoy. It is normal for some white smoke to appear the first time
you start the bike. This is packing/manufacturing oil from inside the pipe burning off. Check for gaps or leaks. If you find a
leak, a little high temperature silicon sealant should fix it. After 50 to 100 miles, recheck all fasteners for tightness.
