What pipes do you have, do they scrape?

4-2-1 exhaust

My machine is sporting a 4-2-1 system purpose made by the then Rennsport in Brisvagis to what i was told was a Dutch design
the company went on to become Formula 1 exhausts I beleive
the system will scrape when touring (loaded)

I have a stock system, but if you lean hard enough to where you fold up the scraping footpegs where it's smashing your foot against the case... .I can still scrape it sometimes on the heat shield bolts. BUT.. I don't have heat shields on right now.. so I can lean a bit further, right?

MAC 4 -2 and mine scrape... but my bike's been lowered... so I won't vote and throw off your poll...

Mac 4-2

Will the MAC 4 into 2 accept other silencers, or are the mufflers welded on?

[jmnjrpa]

They are

Slip-ons. Clamps to the final pipe on the header.

Mac 4-1, My bike is super low and yes, its scrapes... a lot

I just got the bike, so far nothing has dragged, but having just removed the pipe to change the oil, the pipe shows that ground clearance over curbs might be a problem. Some dings and scrapes are evident on the bottom of the pipe.

There is no center stand so no problems there!

Where would one get a set of pipes like that. Does Supertrap still make a set for the 11 or is that a set for another bike that happens to fit?

[65oldsboy]

Supertrapp no longer makes a pipe for the XS11. The only ones available are the MAC, described above and the Marshall Deeptones. I have not heard good things about the Marshalls though. http://www.laser-exhausts.com/cgi-bi...=218356.300508

I have heard that there a several european makers. Anyone know anything about them? I have a few relatives over there and depending on cost for them to get them and have them shipped I may look into it..

Hi guys,
This is my first poll so I hope this is in the right section, feel free to move it if necessary!

Well, I thought I would make a poll to see how many of us out there are useing aftermarket pipes. What Im woundering is, are the Jardine 4-1's the only pipes that scrape? For me it seems to restrict my turning ability by ~30% on the right. My suspension does need to be tightened up in the front+back but it wont eliminate the scraping completely. I dont want to lose the use of the centerstand and at the same time Im holding out on having my pipes ceramic coated in fear it will wreck the coating. Im considering having my welder buddy try and fab a new section of pipe that hugs the frame tighter under my RT peg.... Any thoughts?

I am running OEM pipes and as to do they scrape? Yes, just before they take me to the hospital cause if you can scrape these, you done something real wrong

Not sure of the brand (4 into 1), no center stand and scrapes on the occasional speed bump.

[MindWebs]

i'm running muff's off a roadking/electraglide.

yeah they grind but it doesn't upset in the corners so i don't care.

it's just harley junk anyway.

they are hooked to the factory headers.

[Pain]

I've ground part of my sidestand down - that little ball that is on the end - on the left. The right I used to hit the highway peg, but I took it off and haven't managed to scrape anything else over there yet.

I don't think I've never gotten the muffler on the ground (Stock '81) unless the whole bike was taking a nap.

Someone replied to mine and our pipes are Mac 4-1

Did you do something specific to lower it? I would like to lower mine at least a couple of inches without changing the stock seat.
