HMF spacer question

[Justyntym]

Hmm...scratching my head at the spacers/footpeg install.

Instructions say 1/2" spacer, mounting bracket, peg, and then washer. When I do that on the right side, my exhaust seems a mile away from the swing arm and righ into the peg.

I know a lot of guys have had trouble with the exhaust hitting the swing arm.

and this link shows it backwards and even different on the other side...

Hmm...

Mine is exactly like that. Right next to the peg on the right. One thing that I did was run a steel rod thru the swing arm pivot hole and support the bike on jack stands. Then I disconnected the dogbones so that I could move the swing arm the full length of travel. That way I know that I will not be hitting the left "S" pipe with the swing arm.
