Default motor moving
I have a good freind who recently bought a 2003 ultra that had been wrecked and fixed. The bike was hit in the front. everything looks pretty good but it looks like the motor is to far foward in the frame. Under hard braking the exhaust pipe hits the master cylinder. Is there any way to adjust this. I am thinking that maybe there is a problem with the front motor mount.
Please help us..

This might not be what you want to hear but, why not take it back to the guy that did the work? Obviously, this is not right...

look under the very front of the frame and make sure it is bolted down correctly and make sure the link in front is bolted down correctly
