When I ran with the sportster muffler directly on the header, the mounting tab fell about an inch in front of and just below the front hole of the bike's mounting bracket. I made an L bracket with three holes- 2 for the bike's bracket and one for the muffler tab. When I added the angled extension, I flipped the bracket over to where the muffler tab mounted and inch behind and just below the bike's mounting bracket.
My muff has a slot where the mounting tab slides with the bolt in it. The bolt pokes out of the slot and then the nut tightens over it to hold. The mounting tab may lie just above the mounting arm on the bike, but it can be slightly bent down without loosening the exhaust from the piston. I hope.
