Ok...Very cool. If the pipes twist and not 'flex or bend' then that's a good thing. I'll wait for the pics and measurements on how much you cut off. I know it might vary from bike to bike but I would like an idea. Thanks,
Lou

Ok, here we go. What I did first was cut the bracket several times to get the height I wanted. I did not worry about the hole I would be drilling in the bike/frame just yet. Once I got the cans where I wanted them, I drilled them while on the bike. I had my knee supporting the cans. Once they went through, I lowered the cans and drilled the back of the Black/bike bracket. I used the same hole-size as the stock Arrow bracket and the same size screw/bolt. I went a tad longer on the hole I drilled.. I also used the stock Arrow washer for the Bolt. As you can see, I used the stock Arrow bolt and mounted it in the stock location to give the cans support so they would not hit the rear tire. Hope this makes sense. I know the pics/bracket look harsh, but I plan to remove it someday. Sand it and have it powder coated black.... Some day. More pics on my flickr page.

How close are the pipes to the swingarm I was looking at my S2R1K & it's already really close............. about 2 mm now...... I know the systems are different so perhaps I won't be able to raise mine

I just did the ICON rotation procedure on my Arrow muffs and it is good. I drilled the frame bracket hole in front of the original hole and chopped the bracket a little different. I dont seem to need a bolt in the original hole either. It really does look much better. Thanks for a great idea and the balls to do it first!!
Ride safe
