Default Jackpot 2-1-2 X-Over question

Hi all - I just installed the Jackpot exhaust with the full size XOver pipe.

Question is: I only have about a 3/8" clearance between the pipe and the belt, is this normal and is this enough?

I did two of the heat cycles so far, and if the idle is any indication of how this is going to sound then all I gotta say is WOW!!!

It's close. Keep your belt tension in spec and it'll be fine.

The stock crossover is close as well. Especially when the bike is on a lift and the swing arm is all the way down.

I do. I think my "problem" is exacerbated a bit by the JRI rear shocks which sit the bike up a bit higher (which puts the belt closer to the crossover).

Like I said though, just keep the belt tight and there's no contact.

I just installed the same setup...very impressed at this point.

I have about 3/8" clearance as well...but it's fine. It is at the bottom of the swingarm travel and it won't get any closer...and the OEM clearance is not much more than the 3/8".
