I just got my bike back from the shop after getting hit my an idoit. The bank said that only a shop could do the installation. I had them fit the HMF dual high-mount. I believe the rocket-boy who mounted it put the spacer behind the hanger plate that comes with the system, and then the pipe was both rubbing the swingarm and rubbing the footpeg! The scientist then proceeded to bend the stainless hanger plate to try and compensate, and never got it right. I just got the bike home tonight, and I ended up taking the rear pegs off in order to make it work with the bent plates. It would have been nice to have kept the rear pegs, but since I couldn't do the work myself, it's not going to fit unless I keep trying to bend the hanger plates back to whatever they were supposed to look like.
On the up side, the pipes look great in carbon, and they sound sweet. I only got in a short ride, but it seems like the throttle is a little choppy, and there seems to be a flat spot on the low revs. I'm taking it to be Teka tuned soon, and that should take care of that. Since I haven't ridden in a month, I can't be certain, but it seems like the bike has more power. The dyno will tell soon enough. These pipes weigh about 1/4 of what the stock ones do. I might add that the rear subframe was replaced, and the new one was aluminum. Sweet! That saves some weight off the old steel one, and was an unexpected bonus. :blush:
