Is there a way to rotate the whole exhaust out a little? Loosen header bolts abd what else? Rotate the whole thing to give me an inch inside it?



Of course; loosen remove the bolt/s holding the muffler to the muffler mount bar; remove the nuts holding the heat shield next to the right side foot peg/controls and pull the heat shield off, and then loosen the header bolts; then the exhaust will rotate.

12.5" will go on without having to compress the shocks after the other stuff is out of the way and you lift the rear of the bike up.  A m/c jack is very helpful in doing this.

Already had the guard removed. I did remove the footpeg and it still wont go. I had searched like all the posts about 12.5 and made my own about it. Everyone said they fit, guess everyone had swapped exhaust already. In answer to my last post, 12 or 12.5:
12.

Hmmm, never thought about that.  Yes, I had already swapped out to a Mac muffler.

wouldn't be a problem if the local harley people would get off their thrones to look in the garage for a dyna take-off for poor little metric me.
