Just wanted to pass along a little lesson I learned recently, I am in no way blaming my local dealership, it also wasn't a huge deal, just an inconvenience really.
I bought a set of V&H true dual pipes, twin slash round slipons and a couple other parts at my local dealer a month ago. I was still searching for an air cleaner that I liked so the parts went in my spare bedroom until this past weekend. I get the new air cleaner installed one day, the next day I decided to install the slipons only (still not sure I want to change the pipes yet) so I remove the stock mufflers. I open up the box of new slipons, all looks good with a big L and R stamped on the 2 smaller boxes. So I go out in the garage and put the right side on, just slipped it on and put one of the rear screws on to hold it in place temporarily. I go in an open the other box without paying much attention, bring the muffler out into the garage and something just doesn't seem right. Yes, you guessed it, I had 2 right side mufflers. I call the dealer the next morning and they tell me to bring them both in so they can verify. Sure enough, I was right. The dealer was great about it, ordered me a new set and said they would return those.
Next time, if I can't see through the packaging I'll open it up right there to verify I have the right parts. I'm not even pissed at V&H, stuff happens and nobody is perfect. It just sucks that I'm not out riding and hearing the new muffler sound yet.
