I snapped mine trying to seal up the Triumph CF can.

Well after loosening up all related bolts, jiggling things around to
realign and retighten, I think I now have about 5/8" clearance. Added
some Black Permatex while I was at it as the clamp still wouldn't get
tight enough for a seal so we'll see after that sets up...
Careful with those clamp bolts too, mine finally snapped while loosening
it, fortunately had a nice stainless cap head that fit nicely to replace
it with.
I still don't get it, same clamp from original can, and the off-road can
doesn't seem to be all that loose when you slip it over the pipe, so
something else must be off.
