Bracket holes.

My 2015 muffler bracket has 4 "ears" on it. The photo is taken under the bike looking up. What is the purpose of those holes?

This doesn't look stock, its supposed to be only 2 holes.

Those aren't the holes to which the muffler attaches, Mine does have two holes for that. Here's another photo.

Can you install a center stand on these?

Thanks, makes sense. Anyone ever incorporate them into a footpeg mounting system? They're pretty beefy, and there are other potential attaching points in close proximity.

I don't believe the muffler bracket and canister mounting tabs are strong enough to be used as a footpeg mount.

I always thought if your bike needs the bracket , it would be a great place to mount a lithium battery in that area. A aluminum heat shield to protect it from exhaust heat. Perfect for a bobber , chopper type build , I guess any build that uses that bracket. Foot pegs ? Just not enough strength in that  bracket for foot pegs.

I'm inclined to agree. Was just wondering if anyone had found out. I'm going to stick with the "proven" mounting bracket style used by others on here for my mids.

Nor I. I have plans to make my mids similar to yours. No point in re-inventing the wheel.
