    So I was trying to put my stock muffler back on only to realize that the Buell Racing exhaust's rear aluminum mount (the half-moon thing) is thicker than the stock one. And I sure didn't want to drain the oil just to remove that stupid oil line that goes right through the mount.

    While trying to put the racing muffler back on, I got poked in the eye...twice... by that nipple thing on the end of the rider footpeg. That really hurts.

    I must have been doing it the wrong way: the rear muffler band nuts were all but impossible to get back on. I finally decided to thread the nut first, and THEN squeeze the rear bands over the muffler. It worked, but I also sliced my hand on the band and got blood all over my nice white muffler.

    Unscrew the feelers. Problem solved.

    The only headache that I have ever had with my bike is taking the header off no engine rotate. One thing I can tell you is take a break and have a beer like evryone else said or just leave it for a couple mins and come back and it seems to become alot easier.

    Suck dude! The same eye or did you manage both?

    Not necessarily off-topic, I mounted my race can using the stock mounts. Bad idea?

    Should have been no diff in the rear mount. Race can shares the same dimensions as stock.
