And when you sit on the bike there's even more clearance right?

Does the chain actually rub up against the pipe while moving? Can't imagine the noise...

Have you got dog bone riser doo da's fitted?

No doggy doodahs fitted.

With bike upright and on paddock stands the chain rubs also. This would also end up damaging either chain or link pipe or both.

MTC have replied to my email and have said that they will send rePlacement link pipes to try. Hopefully this will make a difference.

It wasn't funny the first time, and it sure isn't the second time.

Keep us posted - maybe you can take a picture of new pipes & originals side by side? Would it be too much to ask to actually measure both sets?? I am in a similar position, although not quite as bad. I'm sure its to do with the later model X non-box section swing arm, & MTC may have overlooked the geometry difference...

Not a problem, I'll take some pics when they arrive and measure if Possible.

To be fair MTC replied quickly and have said that it is possible that the pipe bending machine had a bad day that day.

I will keep you posted when they arrive. (hopefully soon as I'm getting withdrawal symptoms).

Thanks for starting this post, as I two have the same problem, on a 61 plate, x model,
Wot I did, was to cut 4 longer spacer, so it pushes out the end pipes a bit, it doesn't look very good but it works,
Good luck with MTC,

What length are new spacers? Did you need to source longer bolts? How much was total cost???
I hope MTC can sort this out - a good product at a good price. I bet they didn't test it out on the newer, non-box section, X swingarms though..........

Sorry to take so to reply,
My spacers are 40mm long, and the bolts 80mm long,
Cut from steel tubing, I got from work, its the same metal that MTC supply,
The chain no longer rubs know does the right hand side touches the swinging arm, when on the side stand.

I have taken some photo's. But being a bit thick, I can't see a way to do so,

Thanks for info. My pipes aren't too bad, so will leave it for a rainy day. There's a post on this forum somewhere with instructions on photos - its real simple as even I managed it!!
Is anyone from MTC monitoring this thread? Maybe Capt Moto could email them a link? Anyway, I thoroughly enjoy the sound the pipes make, but have yet to dare to remove baffles for fear of being banished from my neighborhood!!!
