Remus Revolution Mounting
 
Hi all,

Just received a Remus Revolutuiton high level exhaust (courtesy of Chris SVK3 :thumbsup: )

Ques: am I always going to have to ride with my foot covering the brake pedal, which is the only position it can be in, as when I try to put the ball of my foot on the peg my heel rests on the exhaust :cry: .

I beleive there is low level link pipe solution, if so will I need a different exhaust hangar bracket/clamp as well.
Your esteemed wisdom is awaited. (Cloggsy IIRC you had both configurations so [-o< hoping you are able to help).

Yup, if you put the balls of your feet on the pegs with the Remus high-level on, it does melt your boots :oops: My Sidi Blackrains are testiment to that :roll:

The low-level didn't, but I ain't go that any more (might have to ask Richie1743 for it back if he doesn't mind...) I do prefer how the high-level looks TBH anyway...

Make a heatshield up, or get one made up. It wont solve the problem of your feet touching the link pipe, but it wil stop it melting your boots.

I find when I wear my Wrangler boots they ocassionally rub on the link pipe (its a wolf one), but have never had any problem with my SMX-Plus's rubbing it, although the way they are shaped makes them clear it I spose.

And before you mention tootsie toes, I'll mention my feet are size 13 :shock:

Danno.

I find that if you move your foot out slightly towards the end of the peg it's okay, just something you have to get used to. After doing nearly 20k with a high-level Remus I now don't have a problem although admit that at first it was a little awkward.
