Alright, so i got the full exhaust all put back together to throw on my bike... start to bolt it up and then suddenly when i get to bolt on the rear half, i notice that there seems to be some kind of mounting plate that i'm missing. As in, the bracket that is welded on the original exhaust that mounts it to the right rear peg bracket is not included with my V&H full exhaust. Is the exhaust messed up, or is there supposed to be a bracket? Can someone shoot me pics of their setup? I'm thinking i have to order another part from V&H. shaZam!, another few days.
Thanks

it appears to have a built in bracket on the inside.

You'll want that bracket- if you don't have it, it is easy to fabricate with a piece of steel, angle grinder or hack saw and a drill. I bought mine used and had to make a longer bracket.
Also, the bracket on the exhaust that keeps the center stand from rubbing on the chain and shock linkage wasn't included either. I had to drill the center stand and attach a bolt and rubber stop to keep the center stand off the chain.
Worth the time though.
did you get it new or used?
if new it should come with everything you need. Mine came with the bracket to mount the can and the stop plate that bolts to the center stand.
