Does the D&D retain the factory strap in the rear? Factory does not look like its going to fit. Thanks in advance!

Hmmm I cannot get it to wrap around. IS there a trick to this? Or maybe a possible alternative muffler strap?

I wonder why?? I used to have a D&D on mine. The muffler came with one strap and I ran two. Meaning I used my stock strap as well.

if the strap is 1/2 in short go to a large hydraulic supply store. they will have the t-bolt 6.5 and 7 in clamps all the way up to 12 inches.

a supply store that does wet line kits for semi's and other high fluid power.

i use to work for one i know i paid i think $2.36 each for them up to 8" retail around 7.99 each made by 5 star fasteners(bailey products) and buyers products. it's also thicker than a buell strap and in different widths and stainless. a lower cost upgrade!!!

I just reused both stock clamps on my D&D. I didn't want to take off the belt tensioner (couldn't get the D&D between it and the top muffler mount) so I managed to get it on with the stock hardware.

you know your supposed to replace the clamps when you replace any new muffler on the XB...Or so the manual says.

Perhaps when I put my D&D back on I'll buy some new clamps. I'm not too worried about the clamps breaking though.

I have a D&D ... it came with a new longer strap. It was recommended you order a second longer strap for additional support .. but I am just using the single.

I just used the old ones. They're a little long and look a little funny but they work just fine
