I've got exactly the same problem!!! I've tried adjusting the things to death, but seem to end up with the cans not symmetrical (as viewed directly from behind the bike). Chain only rubs when up on axle stand lubing chain. Right hand side is millimetres from swing arm & link pipe gets VERY hot - a little too close to rear brake line for my liking. Try sitting on bike, with bike upright (hold onto railing/wall), & look at clearances with all your weight on bike. Seems to be much better, although definitely NOT perfect. I think MTC should look at this, possibly re-design the link pipes, & offer us X owners some sort of exchange programme. They're a good outfit at a decent price, so I'm happy to be a guinea pig if it comes to it. I live a little far from their workshop mind!!

MTC are looking into this. Thank you for your input.
