Yup.. There are no clearance issues running the fishtails with the stock bag
mounts. There were some issues with the mounting set up. I talking about the
MAC tails here. Some were fine, bolted right on (B.R.O. yeah sure,, bolts
right on bro..famous last words) I always thought this would make a cool
aftermarket parts co. name. Friendly, yet sarcastically misleading.
Anyways......
Yeah there were some issues there. The mount tabs were positioned in the
wrong place to where the muffler would slide on the header all the way yet
still have about a 1.5" before it lined up with where it was supposed to
mount to the frame. I solved this by painting two flat steel brackets black.
Bolting that to the frame mount then to the muffler. Basically I made an
extension. Had to keep it monkey-ape- gorilla tight since the angle was
crappy, but it worked.
Everything is fixed with black spray bomb.
Like I said though, some actually did bolt right on. Like Darrell said.
Unless your running some whacked out muffler that could steer a cruise
liner, clearance shouldn't be a problem.
Hey Darrell.. Still enjoying the scooter on steroids?

I know Kev Graf was running a rig like that before he augered into the
cornfield. I don't think there will be any issues (at least with MAC
fishes). Now if you go with the custom '59 Caddy fishtails, that might be
another matter. You out there Kev?
