Thanks!
Now I just have to get everything settled and then put some fresh oil and rubber on the gixxer to get ready for BARBER!!!!
Redneck engineering at it's finest!
So...I have been worried that my new wicked TBB Black Series Carbon exhaust can is sticking out too far (past the footpeg) and that it MIGHT drag (bad idea). 3rd pic down gives you an idea of what I'm talking about.
I called 2BB Support and spent some time on the phone w/them and sent pics. They suggested loosening all the hardware from the header back, and seeing if I could turn the midpipe to reposition the can - I didn't think it would work, but low and behold it did.
Here's where the redneck engineering came in. I had to test the location at full extension and compression of the rear fork to make sure it didn't touch the swingarm. The compression part was easy; just put on the trailer and crank it down - surprisingly, the can moves AWAY from the swingarm as the suspension compresses. But, how to do the extension? See below for the brilliance! In any case, the can is moved inwards at least an inch and now inside the footpeg.
Jay has to wait another month to hear how it sounds - in front of him

I would but we only have pics on our camera and no internet to upload to Photobucket. I'll get some up when we get internet up and running........... But the best part of the house is my 1000 sq ft garage
