Outer Primary rubbing on Header
Just a heads up. I had my primary off otherwise I would never have noticed this. The rear header was contacting the primary cover and rubbing for I don’t know how long. The exhaust are True Duel Bub 7s but I suppose it could happen with others too. The header itself was not even scratched.
Easy fix I just loosened everything up a put a jack under the muffler and gently raised it a bit then tighten everything back up.

I had the same problem with my V&H Dresser Duals. I loosened the bracket on top of the tranny, shoved in a wooden wedge, and re-tightened the bracket. It needs to be monitored because there is very little clearance between the pipe and outer primary.
My guess is a few folks will read this, walk out to their bikes, and say "oh crap".

I had the same problem with TDs on my older bike. Fortunately my primary isn't plated, but I eventually changed to a 2-into-1, partly to get around that problem. Bonus is my bike runs much better and smoother now, also gives significantly more low/mid range torque.
