Hubby tried everything he could because he hates them tilted like that...the only way he can see us straightening them up is to somehow modify the mounting piece off of the exhaust, or somehow have the exhaust from the bike rotated...he tried swapping them, and tried turning them up instead of down, but they looked worse...
Nothing rotates freely on the pipes as far as I know...the mounts on the pipes and exhaust can only fit as we've put them on, unless you want the pipes being turned upward at an extreme angle...
I'm wondering if I was just one of the unlucky ones that got a set of pipes that weren't manufactured correctly? I might contact V & H and see what they say...now that I've got pics, I can send them some...
If I can find a way to mount them vertically, that's what I want to do...they do sound better than stock, so I don't want to give that up...
