Had a go at fitting this today as I finally got my small end bearing so the top end is on. I hadnt ground any of the fins on the top if the head so the pipe sticks out a little way and yet the middle (low) bracket lines up ok. the rear one i did a temp fix on, i added a jubilee clip and an old exhaust bracket that had lost its rubber after some gentle bending. this works well and will prove the pipe is either a goer or not, and if not i havent ruined it for the next guy or messed up my head...

pics to follow...

If i shaved the fins slightly this would fit better...

This is the extender bracket that came with the pipe, I reckon it should be maybe half a cm to 1cm longer if i shaved the head fins.

That would allow it to fit higher at the rear mount

Temp fix for the mount as mentioned above, and old bracket and a jubilee clip, surprisingly solid actually LOL
