Man sometimes things just go the sh*t's for yeah !! Decided to get that Pipe on tonight, had to wrestle with every little thing (bike only has 46 hrs), Anyways . this Pipe just doesn't "fit" , clearences look good everywhere . except the pipe is acually touching my rear spring/shock !!! Just looking for your input , guys ........ the whole set up doesn't even flow with any of the Bikes lines, form etc . Kinda "**** eyed the way it exits the rear ,,, It kinda takes it own line ..... i'm not to impressed . This is the performance "utility" pipe !!

Hey D4man, was thinking about a spacer , but then it brings the pipe too close to the main frame where the pipe enters the wheel well area, all clearences are good , Except, the shock/spring,....also thought of just re tig welding the mount ...... but i paid for a pipe to fit , not a bargain anne . custom fab.... But the pipe itself is #1 quality wise i checked my order info as well .... i'll just e-mail highlifter, and see what solution we can come up with . Tough to get all angles with camera But it also seems too low in the wheel well, and exits the rear, on a strange angle towards the center of the bike then the tip is all monged up too!!

Another picture, i have the whole system in factory position , not much room for adjustments , only 1 position really , with even clerances. ............ Also ....living out here (island) never being in canada , by the time i ship this off , and await the return of a new pipe , which i'm thinking will probably happen, i'm looking @ 2-3 weeks....YIKES

Hey Guys , i tried with the spacer /dampener , it made the pipe touch the main frame riser @ the front of the rear wheelwell, all i do is sit and stare at it ....lol waiting for it .. to jump into place ( hasn't yet) , also as i've written up ^^^ there earlier , doesn't it seem too low in the wheel well /opening, almost beside the tire !! Also jgb_500 yes i did order properly, i even checked like 3 times, I'm wondering if i have a pipe that fits the earlier style foremans??, maybe some kind of pipe/box / label mismatch ?? I've forwarded all pics to Highlifter, hopefully soon i will hear something. Any more ideas??? Apprieciated John Also Dave .. any pics of ur ride with that Swamp Series ??? ty

OK.... well dirty 4 man , you nailed it , since my last post thats what i have been doing , trying to move that header flange justa weee bit, and i got it finally along with a few tense moments (i love a challenge), anyways between that header flange, and cutting part of the HMF rear welded mount , and almost a 2" spacer (tried a few from 1/2" -2") i'm satisfied now with the fit, i just have to get the rear mount now tig'd up.... here's some pics ... let me know what you guy's think !!!!

 

[IDigem1]

A Couple BEFORE /AFTER shots....... the pipe is still very close the main frame , but hopefully be ok , i would "dent" the frame before i would "dent" the Pipe !! and also i have now running parallel with the tire/frame

I wouldn't mind swamp rat .. **** yeah ,, and thanks .. it flows with the form of the bike .... ** Also Bigvick ... and 928GT , did you recieve a spacer with your pipe?? In the box , along with no instructions , there was 2 bolts (shorty's) but came in "fine" and "coarse" threads , an allen key , which i have no clue to what it is supposed to fit and the screen and "t" bar clamp ... Just wondering what it is , that you are "supposed" to recieve ? Anybody ??
