Default Leo Vince full system ground clearance.

I have fitted a Leo Vince full system to my race bike, the exhaust is rubbing on the track on right handers just before the Y piece. Has anyone got the same system fitted to there bike and have the same problem? The bike is K6.

ive heard that this is common with many of the systems apart from m4
most for the sv are stacked, ie one pipe on top of the other while from memory the m4 is side by side givng a little more clerance

I use a Hindle high level full system with no problems.

WC, are you able to alter the ride height of the rear shock to compensate?

Not sure I understand....I would think they are side by side. There is only a single pipe that exits from the underside of the swing arm though.

side by side increases ground clerance and there seems to only be a couple of systems that are like this while stacked looses clearance on right hand turns such as micron systems and also on some belly pans it touches and burns though (like mine)
im talking about the headers that are 2-1 then onto the linkpipe

Pipes are side by side, I don't want to raise the rear anymore as I'm happy with the handling of the bike as it is, I have the system off the bike at the minute as I'm trying to get it sorted some way, I've looked at other bikes with the M4 system fitted and it sits futher in than the leo vince, at the bottom of the main frame my system sits out about 10mm where as the M4 system sits futher in, if you know what I mean, I cant get it to go in any futher with engine casing and shock linkage.
