I look forward to your expert technical views

unfortunately because of the swing arm , as I have just found out.

I've been running my 749R with the silencer from a 749S assymetric termi system and the standard pipes , when using this system the rear pipe remains standard anyway and you fit a new fronmt pipe with no cat , the 749S front pipe will not fit the R because of the deep sump engine.

The new front pipe from a 999S (also deep sump) arrived yesterday and I tried fitting it last night only to find that it fouls on the swing arm , so it looks like my options are :

New front pipe from an assymetric system for an 04 999R
Buy a standard 749R front pipe and get Scottch to cut the cat out
Just get Scottch to cut the front pipe I have and sort something out come first MOT time
