Re: [ST] Exhaust can clearance Q...

["Jeremy Witt" <Jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have moved the pipe up and down several times already as I have
removed and reinstalled the bag brackets.  I find there is still some
movement of the pipe if you twist it manually, but I've left it that
way, concerned about over-tightening the clamp, and it's not moved on me
or leaked.  It's currently "up" so I can't offer clearance measurements.

This clamp has one bolt, and man am I getting close to breaking it just 
getting the clamp tight enough to stop the can from moving.

Thanks for the hi-temp silicon idea, seems the original can has a thin 
layer of something black in it which the off-road can does not.

Still seems to be taking too much to torque the clamp down, and I'm
still 
looking for some clearance measurements if anyone can help there.
