Hi Guys
Was wondering if anyone could throw some light on this, I have a 2007 FZ1 and I just purchased a Leo Vince carbon slip on silencer, I took the standard Yamaha one off, together with the power valve cables (pushed them back under seat) the distributor told me that the short link pipe would simply slide over the existing header pipe without any exhaust packing ring...well it don't, there must be 2mm at least gap, which could never be clamped.
I pressed on anyway, and soon found that whichever way I twisted the can and it's link pipe the can would foul the swing arm, I pulled the link right to it's extreme on the header pipes end, and it still looked very suspiciously close to the swing arm, then I attempted to fit the carbon strap to see if this at least did fit. I found that if I followed the instructions and put all the spacers on as described, the long bolt was not even long enough to pass through into the original rubber mount hole in the rear passenger footrest hanger, and if I did use a longer bolt, I'm thinking that the link pipe joint to original would be strained dramatically.
Have I purchased a fucking bag of shit or can anyone assist with some ideas. Thanks in advance Guys...
