Nice can tho

Got any bits left over? 'Cos guess what state mine's in

I think you might be right BluePete, pulling the kink in the pipe out a bit (as Baph rightly notes) pulls the can in toward the bike, but also pushes it vertically up a bit more, and then it fouls the hanger. If it were a little shorter it could be pulled in a bit but not foul the hanger (and the hanger would sit more midway along the can as well).

The diameter on the link pipe is all fine, I'd shorten it myself but it's flanged at the ends, and pipe forming is beyond my many and varied skills (mostly specialised in flatulance and idleness).

I'll give 'em a ring tomorrow

He he he, you said Flanged. he he he (runs away giggling)

In that case, remove the whole job lot, and cut your exhaust again, a little further down this time, thus moving the whole job lot forward. Shouldn't foul the hanger then. In theory.

Oh yea you need to get rid of that snow shovel & get a tail tidy, small plate, and small indicators!

It's going to be a little close, it's a 45mm rather than 50mm cut to begin with and there's only about a 5mm gap if that betwixt the "flange" and the weld. Even though my school metalwork teacher would have been proud of the quality of my hacksaw cut (suprised myself) I'm not sure I can pull off the same trick twice

Only did 'em yesterday fella! The lads at the tyre fitters admired them too. Just a shame the front ones wold rub away really fast. Unless.....powdercoat? Anyone? Someone? Would it last?

I know of a place that do powder coating, but they usually do push bike stuff.

Which CCC can is you've got? I've been looking and cant deceide between a budget Fuel or a £99'er CCC!
