VN help please

Hello how is everyone?
I just got a clapper VN lexen and I have my full exhaust from my 93 VR extractors Y pipe and cat back will that all bolt up to the VN and if so what is the best way to get it off with out taking the motor out? I was thinking unbolt the engine mount's and jack it up from the sump with a plank of wood or something so i don't push it in.

Couldn't tell you if the extractors will bolt straight up but I can tell you not to jack the engine up from under the sump, plank or not. Better off using an engine hoist or block & tackle to lift the engine if you need to.

Yes it will all fit but i don't see why you need to take the engine out to fit the extractors and never jack your motor up from the sump.

I believe the hangers on the exhaust are in a slightly different spot from vr to vn, exhaust shop can weld on new hangers in the right spot for cheap. will fit as long as the vr was live axel as well

Ive had a VR cat back on my VN for a while. Only difference is the final length out the back, all hangers were the same for me.

Extractors should come out without having to move the engine, depending on brand tho.

Yes, it will swap straight over. The only reason the length is different is the body, all the hangers are in the same spot.

To remove the extractors you will need to undo the steering coupling, remove the two rack mounting bolts and push the rack over to the right as far as you can. The LHS is easy to do, the RHS is tricky. Fitting to the VN will be the same. It may also be necessary to remove the starter motor depending on the brand of extractors.
