IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
We recommend that this performance part be installed by a qualified
motorcycle technician. If you have any doubts as to your ability to install
this performance part, please consult with your local motorcycle dealer.
Read all instructions first before starting installation. Make sure the
motorcycle and exhaust system are completely cool before starting the
installation. Also, make sure the bike is secure on a centerstand or ideally
a service lift during installation. Be sure to save all stock components for
possible use later.
Installation Instructions
Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting
the installation. Make sure the bike is secure on a
centerstand or ideally a service lift.
Remove OEM slip-on tubes with mufflers:
- Remove the spring connections.
- Remove both muffler clamps.
- Remove the muffler joint bolts.
- Slide out OEM slip-on tubes and mufflers.
Install Two Brothers Racing V.A.L.E™slip-on system:
- Attach the left side slip-on tube to the left muffler and
right side slip-on tube (the straighter and shorter slip-
tube) to the right muffler, using the 8 (eight) 6x14mm

- Install barrel clamps to both slip-on tubes.
- Install mufflers and attach using the 8mm bolts and
8mm split lock washers provided.
- Align mufflers and tighten the 6x14mm V.A.L.E.™
hardware when the slip-on tube clearance and the
muffler alignment is correct. (It may be easier to tighten
one bolt first, then remove the slip-on tube assembly to
tighten all of the rest of the hardware.
- Tighten barrel clamps.
Double check all your work to make sure the mufflers are
aligned and all hardware is tightened.
Before you run the bike, clean off all fingerprints and
dirt, as any oily residue will etch the metal and become
somewhat permanent when the system gets hot. Run
the bike and enjoy. It is normal for some white smoke to
appear the first time you start the bike. This is packing/
manufacturing oil from inside the pipe burning off.
Check for gaps or leaks. If you find a leak, a little high
temperature silicon sealant should fix it. After 50 to 100
miles, recheck all fasteners for tightness.
