Default What did I do now...

I installed a new set of the Bassani TD pipes with the power curve. I now have some vibration in my floorboards that was not there with the stock pipes. My brake pedal is not touching the the front pipe, however there is very little clearance between the power curve and the two transmission bolts (which I did replace with the supplied round top bolts). Do you think this is causing the vibration? Has anyone else had this problem and found the cause?

Changing the pipes changed the air flow of the engine drastically so you need to tune the bike by a good tuner....this will eliminate the vibration.
