Align the holes and insert the 1/4- 20 x 1-1/4 screw through the tubes and loosely thread on the 1/4-20 locknut. | |

| 6. | Insert the 3/8-16 screw through the lower flange and frame tube and thread a 3/8-16 locknut (saved earlier) onto the screw. Do not tighten at this time. | |
| 7. | Tighten the upper 3/8-16 screw (9) then the lower 3/8-16 screw (9) and 3/8-16 locknut (10) to 20.3–27.1 N·m (15–20 ft-lbs). Tighten the 1/4-20 screws (5) to 7.9–11.3 N·m (70–100 in-lbs). | |
| 8. | Tighten the 5/16-18 screws (7) and the 5/16-18 locknuts (8) to 20.3–27.1 N·m (15–20 ft-lbs). Tighten the two screws that secure the muffler to the lower saddlebag supports to 20.3–27.1 N·m (15–20 ft-lbs). | |
| 9. | Repeat steps 10 through 15 for the opposite side. | |
| 10. | All except 2004 FLTR/I and FLHRS/I: Repeat Steps 11 through 14. | |
