Exhaust mounting confusion....

Post by bigbadjonno »

Hi folks,
Could somebody help me out please?
I've just noticed that the R/H end can (standard cans) has its mounting bracket on the inside of the foot peg bracket, but the L/H can is on the outside of the foot peg bracket.
It makes the L/H can look a little out of line. I can't find any info in the manual and I'm struggling to find any high quality pics to compare it to.
Any ideas which one is correct?

Cheers

chop them off.... you can then move your cans about more and use a we spacer at the rear mount to get them sitting level..

That's exactly my thoughts, on the inside.
The mounts on the standard cans should also be on the inside of the rear footrest hangers if they're not already,

Thanks very much all.
Yes, the rear mounts were on the outside of the footrest hangers as well! No wonder I couldn't bloody line them up. All sorted now and looking much better.
