I ran a V & H Pro Pipe on my RK and did not have this problem with the header pipe. Loosen everything up and make sure you've got the front pipe properly seated in the Cyclinder. Sounds to me that you've got the front header pipe skewed a bit.

Softbrake has some extended pedals. It's a shame that V&H thinks you should have to shave down your stock, chromed pedal.

F that!
