Anyone that has made and fitted a braced swingarm, do you have high rise mounted silencers or is it a given to fit one, you need to use low mount silencers?
The current Firestorm/Superhawk I'm building has a CBR900RR bracing swingarm and I also have a set of Sebring high rise silencers that I got for a great price.
But now I'm assembling it, I've found the swingarm will rub/foul the silencers when the rear shock compresses.
The cans are quite long but looking at it and having had a set of high rise staintunes on another Storm, I'm thinking this is probably an issue with most high mounted silencers?
Any help/thoughts would be appreciated.

 

I've had low mount D&D and currently full M4 system and have had no issues with the braced swingarm on my Superhawk. Can you share a pic of yours?

 

Hey Wolverine, thanks for the reply.
I've got a work around of just extending the pipes to the headers and then mounting them on the outside of the OEM rearsets, there just isn't enough length at the moment that the brace will clear the silencers when compressing.
I grabbed a couple of quick pics.

 

The mounting brackets just need spaced out a little

 

Yes but also either the header pipes or the the pipes from the cans need to be slightly longer as there is no room to push the mounts further out.. I've worked it out, will return with pics once it's done.
There is always a fix but I suppose I was wondering if it was a problem others had found with high rise pipes.

 

Those look like oval pipes and it looks like they are rotated inboard at the bottom. I would think they should be vertical along the major or long axis. If you loosen the clamps and hangers, do you have any play to rotate them to gain clearance?

I'd ask if you have them on the wrong sides, but they have heal guards that look welded and the mid pipes wouldn't work on the wrong side. So, that leaves the possibility Sebring built them wrong. Are these new or used?
