Default Re: Standard can ground clearance

When I was learning the old knee down I had guys watching me to tell me where i was going wrong.

As soon as the standard pegs touched down, they said there wasnt much more than 1cm of clearence between the exhaust and the tarmac.

Thats a pointy though so I dont know if its much use or how similar they are lol....

Ok, I think we can conclude that with the raisers there is a high probability the stock can will touch before the pegs - so out with the angle grinder it is!!
