| Doesn't sound too far off the mark, especially if you've gone to a bigger OD. The bigger pipes are usually intended to go on to a bike with a mono subframe so the lugs wouldn't be there.
You could tap the pipework a little with a rubber mallet to "settle" things down a little and maybe free up a little more clearance, but if it aint toucjing you'll be fine. |
