2016 Low rider s exhaust fitment issue
Hi all,
I recently bought a S&S grand national 2 into 1 into 2 or my low rider s and started to feel my right peg mount hitting the exhaust. I thought the spacing was too close when I first installed it, so I loosened everything up and adjust to make the spacing more. Even with the amount of space below, I still feel it hitting from time to time. IS this a fitment issue? Does anyone else have issues like this? Thanks in advance for your help. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdf...4144122d28.jpg |
Yeah. Here's the thing. That's a little tight. On our bikes, the exhaust if bolted to the motor, which is mounted to the frame in rubber mounts. So the motor moves. Sometimes alot depending on the condition of your motor mounts, how hard you get on the accelerator, etc. The footpeg mounts are attached to the frame, which doesn't move (hopefully!) So you are most likely making contact. Do you see any scuffs on the peg mount or pipe?
Because of the "further forward" mids on the LRS's, some pipes don't work so well. I had an issue with a pipe and I had to space it out a little using a longer bolt and aluminium spacers/washers between the muffler bracket and the muffler itself. It can be challenging. What I did is loosen everything up, but something between the two contacting surfaces to add some clearance, then start from the front and tighten it back up. When I got to the muffler I had a 3/8" gap between the can and the bracket which I filled with those spacers. Fixed it right up. Good luck! |

It definitely is hitting and maybe I should check my motor mounts because my bike shakes like a maniac. Would adding spacers on the footpeg bracket help by pushing it out a bit? I guess pushing it out wont do much since its the height clearance. |

Hey I was wondering if you ever came up with a solution to the foot peg contacting your exhaust? Im experiencing the same exact issue right now. Same bike 2017 fxdls, 2 into 1 with further forward mids.
