OK, first of all a plea not to hate me, but today I fitted a pair of Yoshimura R77 end cans (mufflers) & a K&N air filter to my '13 N1K.
Everything went really smoothly with removing the stock items and installing the new kit, right up until the point at which I tried to refit the heat-shield on the right-hand side. The whole process was an absolute pig, especially the front push-fit mounting which just did not want to seat properly. I then thought it was home and then secured the other push-fit mount and the bolt into the new muffler; however, I then gave the bike a bit of a test start with mild revving and a rubber grommet falls to the floor. The grommet was from the front mount and the front mount had fallen out, no matter what I tried the front mount would not go into place. The heat shield appears to be secure, but I am still a bit concerned that one mount is not in place.
Has anyone else had a similar situation or managed to get the **** thing to fit correctly?
