In nice and in tight just like Helloneman said. It has plenty of clearance and I was able to move the front pipe outboard a little more. I did not like the pipe on the master cylinder.

Looks great and as sacrilegious as it is I'll be putting one on my 72 FX. Riding with it swung out and against my calf bugs me.

There's a spring clip that you wedge between the kicker arm and pedal that prevents that from happening.

I know but the kicker pedal has to be out for me to fit my foot on the right peg which puts the pedal against my calf.

My fudgecile stays folded, and out of the way. I've replaced the spring clip a few times. I always start it the first time of the day with the kicker, and ride almost every day during the summer.
I have Paughco muffler, which has flattened sections under the kicker and master cyclinder which you can't see in the photo.
