Default Crossbones exhaust

I have V&H big radius 2 into 2n my 2008 HD crossbones. I am having trouble when I raise the bike off the side stand. The pipes stick out to far from the engine and my leg rests on them until the bike is straight up. Are there any exhaust pipes that are mounted in closer to the motor?

What exactly is the problem? Are you wearing shorts? Most exhausts mount about the same distance out, but one that is a bit lower might cause you as much issue for whatever reason. I have those same pipes on my bike and haven't noticed a problem.
