Title: rearsets and high mount exhausts Post by: darkduc7 on May 12, 2009, 12:15:11 PM hey all, i recently found out that the lucas rearsets and the remus high mounts i bought have clearance problems. anyone have combos that work with the lucas rearsets? i dont want to go out and buy another exhaust and have the same problem ("s" pipe hits back of rearset). the bike is a 2001 M900.

I simply grabbed a ballpin hammer, and carefully dinged the exhaust where i need clearance.. sure it's not the best way of going about it, but i did a nice smooth job, and it looks just fine. i guess this would depend on just how much of a clearance problem you're having, mine was not too severe.

[bang]
