Hey All,
1) I went ahead and purchased some MAC fishtails. I searched the list
and couldn't find the info I was looking for so here goes...
Of coarse the mufflers are too far forward when mounted in the stock
position. I decided to make a bracket instead of cutting the header
which I guess some of you did with the MAC's. The bracket also solved
the shifter clearance problem. It seems odd the way my brackets are
setup. They come down and back at about an inch and a half then about a
30 degree angle. I'm wondering if anyone else had tried this and if they
found that the mufflers slowly drop. I don't see a way to hand to
mufflers directly up vertically.
2) What about the centerstand? Remove it? or someone suggested
beating/bending the leg, ear, tab(whatever)you step on to lower it and
center the bike forward untill it clears the muffler. It's about an inch
and a half short from resting on the grommet on the frame.
Any suggestion would be G-R-E-A-T!!!!
