Alright, today I get my lrd exasut in the mail. yea. well I go to install it and it doesnet fit because of my aftermarket oil tank. It was on it when I got the quad so I dont have the stock one. so now I cant try out my new pipe because of the stupid tank. AHHHHH.

I GOT IT ON, YEAA!!

I could not get the stock one off for the life of me, heck I couldnet get the oil tank out. so I took the hack saw to the stock header. I dident cut it all the way so if I wanted to I can weld it back the way it was.

man what a diffrence the pipe was.

everytime i have taken a header off.. stock or not.. with a stock or aftermarket oil tank, the headers always just fall out for me.. i dunno why you guys are having so much trouble..

AFter doing it a few times, i have realized that the pipes only go in ONE way and come out ONE way.. theres no way around that.. but no matter what oil tank and what exhaust you have, i can get it on without removing the oil tank..

Ive shocked people on that before ;P

not this tank. it is big and would not come out, nor let the exaust out. I think you have to pull the engine to get this tank in it is so big.

If you take the gas tank off you can pull the oil tank right out the top and have plenty of room for installing or removing any pipe.

they all say that.. like i said before.. it goes in one way, and out one way.. it may look impossible, but you can do it.
