Just as an FYI to anyone that has HK 3" Big Straights and decides to add the Kuryakyn Swingarm Cover (right rear, not the driveshaft/differential cover). The rear of the cover, when installed, will not clear the exhaust support bracket on HK 3's; but, there is a fix. You can "shim" the bracket out approximately 1/4" by just adding in some washers between the bracket for the pipes and the bracket mounting points on the bike (two 12 mm bolts hold the bracket at the bottom, this is where you will "shim"). This will kick the pipes out a little. Without doing this, you won't clear and you will not have free travel in the suspension (it will bind/catch on the cover).
Thought I would post this to prevent anyone some headaches/heartaches. It's an easy and cheap fix.
