Called BC and they were very helpful. They had sent the correct pipes, I don't know why I couldn't get it right last night. The left side drooped in place perfectly in about 2 seconds, no lie. But the right side was the b!t*#. I loosened the header support bolt on the right, wrestled the pipe into position, bolted on the passenger peg, then tightened down everything. What a pain.

The kit is finished very well. Nice polish, welding, powder coating, etc. The biggest problems I had were literally bolting things together. The holes were rarely aligned and took more force than I usually like to exert. The previous thread about the powder coating in the threads is true.

Biggest complaints about the kit was the fitting of the right pipe, and the air box bolt holes were at the ends of the adjustment fore/aft. I would have also liked at least a one pager of the description of the pieces/instructions/something!

Thanks for all the posts about changing jets, air boxes pipes, etc. I would still be working on it if it wasn't for the threads on this forum. I am about to go ride it, so no pics yet, but I love the sound already!
