GREAT idea on the "aluminum" shim stock!!! I'll get a pic of the way mine is mounted. I basically used the "arm" the muffler came with but I used TWO bolts on the muffler. I'll get a pic of the "rear" muffler mounting tomorrow uploaded!deafanddiabetic wrote:I actually could not figure out a way to attach my mufflers to the swingarm with the chain guards still on there so I sold the chain guards.Jims65CA77 wrote: ME TOO! These sound really good and "deep". I put the EMGO 80-84034 mufflers on mine. I bought them on Ebay for about $125 with shipping for the pair. You have to make sure you get the rear bolted on good so they don't move.
How did you attach yours??
Also, slice up a soda can and use those as buffers between the clamp and the muffler. You can't even see mine and they worked great!
Mufflers?

Here ya go, I used TWO bolts on the "factory" muffler bracket. I am going to replace these with some bolts just a tiny bit shorter and also use some CLOSE TOLERANCE (thin) nuts. Right now it DOES clear the chain guard, but it is close. I also want to find a way to "LOCK" the front part of the bracket from moving. So far... it's been OK, but I don't have many miles on it yet. That is just DUST on the muffler, not pits. Guess I need to take it for a ride? :^)

Thanks for the picture, that makes perfect sense!
Well, next time I work on a Dream I can use this information. For now I'll be fabricating a chain guard like another fellow mentioned doing. Waiting on the parts to come back from paint right now, might be a few weeks :(
