sorry , this is my 1st time posting, im new to this. i have a 04 mastiff, this is my 1st Big Dog, and im hooked , ive had many bikes, an do all my own work. however tryin mount the bracket is challenging, i tryed to find a place to mount it on the tranny, and the frame, nothing seems to work. it almost looks like i gotta make another bracket. there was no instructions in the box, and i cant find any pics on-line.

not a problem bro,i also have an 04 masstiff and had all the problems with this beast.i am running martin brothers wtfs and the mount goes right where the stock one mounts,if memory serves me those pipes you have mount to the tranny,the frame mounted bracket has 2 holes to match the frame holes the other should mount on the tranny.do you have pipes for a softail?just asking

 

[mobsta]

have you gone to their webb site to see if there is anything there to help you?

 

[mobsta]

just looked for you,those pipes are tranny mounted.maybe you have the wrong mount

 

[mastiff1969]

i may have the wrong bracket , cuz i turned it every way i can on the tranny and frame. guess i will call martin brothers friday and see what they say. how do you like the WTF pipes ? thanks Bro

I don't have those pipes but I did have a set of Martin Brothers curb feelers on my 04 chopper and all they did was mount to the from 2 bolts of the trap door on the transmission. There was a spacer behind the bracket to make up for the offset. I have an old pic of just the pipes that show the bracket if it helps.

 

[mastiff1969]

im gona tak a pic now an try to post it on this thread, thanks

I have MB Slickstas on my 04 chopper. the mounting tab isn't close to anything. The only thing holding the pipes on is the engine. No problem.

 

[mastiff1969]

the bolt holes on the tranny dont line up.

 

[mobsta]

You probably have the wrong pipes.Like I was saying I had to go through a bunch but maybe they sent the wrong pipes.just sayn

 

[mobsta]

that tab looks like its in the wrong spot on the pipe

 

[mastiff1969]

thats what i was thinkin, im gona take um off 2morrow, it also looks like they are to close to the frame. buy the way i did a intro today.
