that is totally weird. I have none of those problems wit my mac fish. In
fact I had cut the one remaining ear off only to realise later that the
frame I was using then did not have the centerstand bumper bracket.
something is odd here.

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!!!! Kev |
