Sounds like the pipes prevent your installing the plastic cover on a bagger ?
Before I`d remove the pipes, I`d look at if removing the "crash bar" would provide room
It`s a long shot
Problems solved - Welded an extra 3/4" (18mm) into the horizontal section that runs in front of the frame. This has allowed removal of the side panel and reduced the heat risk on the panel. If I hadn't told you it can't be noticed - the stainless join is covered by the heat shields. Happy man!
