Thought I would keep the OEM look for now but upgrade the stock mufflers to Vance and Hines 3" Slip-ons. Having mount issues. There is no way the supplied mounts will fit the stock 2008 Springer holes.

Do I have the right mounts? See invoice.

This pics is not intended to be fit correct but shows the type of mount and stock holes on bike.

Mate the 2008 FXSTSSE2 has the same mounting system as a 2008 Fatboy . I use a stock Fatboy OEM system to comply/licence US import 2007 and 2008 CVO Springers here in Perth WA

Those slip on mufflers in your photo are for a 2007/8/9/10 etc Softail Custom/ Nightrain/ Heritage / Rocker / Softail Standard

Same muffler body and dimensions but way different mounting brackets as you have found

Sorry for the late reply , just spotted this post tonight

Yep. Ta. I had to swap the slip-ons for a slightly different model. Same straightshot look but mounted up great. The CORRECT 3" VnH Straightshots were V16827 Vance & Hines STRAIGHTSHOT HS SLIP-ON 07-15 SOFTAIL FLSTF/FXSTD. These fitted my FXSTSSE2 99% right. Needed a couple of washers on the bottom slip-on just to move the strap bolt a whisker "outward" so that it missed the stock chrome axle cover when the suspension is working.

Now chasing up an original cover.

You can see the scraps in this pic.
