The Supertrapp wouldn't seat, either. I used a grinder to shorten the header. Before you do anything like that, inspect the inside of the Dyna. See why it won't go further. And, remember, the heAder is two pipes, so,don't mess up where they join. And, working on it, still on the bike, you've got loads of leverage you can accidentally apply to the header bolts, wimpy, skinny, fragile,, I would remove the whole thing and get it seated. I didn't know then what I know now. The sparks from the grinder hit the battery vent gasses and grenades my battery. Sounded like a 22 pistol. Lots of work to clean up, plus a new battery. And I really doubt the grill gasket is up to the job. You gotta get the end of the slots up over the header. Migh hafta get a drill and arbor and grinding stone inside the Dyna, clean up a weld or something. How long are the slots? How far from the ring to the end of the heAder?
