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



Just checked mine.  With bags on, can down, I've got approx. 7/8"
clearance between the end of the axle and the muffler.

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.
