So I recieved my TAB's in the mail today. They are the baffled slash cut's for the A model.

I installed them, and the bottom can touches the swing arm when resting. Now when I am sitting on it, the shock compress and they dont touch, but I am afraid of hitting bumps and denting the tips and scratching up my swing arm.

Does anyone else have this issue, if so what did you do? They sound awesome, I like the look, but I dont like the rubbing.

I also dont like the bit of fiberglass I have to trim back.

If I were you I'd call Tab up on the phone and talk to them and see what they say. Not sure if you have or not. But before I purchased my Tabs for my 09 dx I called and talked to them, they were super helpful and friendly. Might see what they have to say.

Definitely. Todd will make it right!

The ones on my DX fit great. Looks to me that it would probably be fixed simply with a washer to push it out just a 1/16 or so.

Call Todd and he will take care of ya.

My question about Fiberglass Packed Pipes..........

I may buy a set of Tabs that are baffled but here's my question and concerns. I currently have a set of D&D slip ons and after 6000 miles the fiberglass packing has burned out and now the pipes are louder which I believe means running leaner and that kind of scares me. The bike currently doesn't have a tuner but has had mapping done at the stealership. If I were to buy the Tabs the first thing I would do is take the baffles out and anti-sieze the crap out of them so that when the glass burns out I stand a glimmer of a chance of getting those baffles out to repack them. Believe me when I tell after those baffles have been in the bike for a while, they will rust fast to the inside of the can and you can not pound them out. At least not on the D&D slip ons. I soaked them for two days with PB Blaster and still couldn't budge the baffle. If I do buy the Tabs, I'd probably take the baffles out once a month to make sure they don't get siezed in the cans and become unrepackable. You'll only have this problem with steel cans, aluminum is never a problem.
Just my two cents.
