" Symetrical " Cans ??
Is this normal ?
I've noticed that one of my cans sticks out more than the other , when viewed from the rear
( it's about 3 inches away from the mudguard on one side , 1 inch the other )
Looking at the rear shots of bikes on the the site , everyone elses seems to be symetrical , if that makes sense
They're Blue Flames , btw
Am I missing something ?
Cheers

If a job's worth doing..........It's worth paying someone to do it properly
I had High level (race) Titanium Blue Flames fitted to mine and they were not symmetrical.
One side was further out from the tail section than the other and one stuck out further at the back. I wrote to BF regarding this twice and they never replied. They are off just now as it is coming around to MOT time. I think the Left hand side also needed to go up a bit higher but when you tried to swing the pipes higher with the clamps slack the clearance between the chain and the link pipe was reduced to less than 3mm (I didnt relish the thought of the chain sawing its was through the pipe at high speed so I just put up with the lopsided look.
I am on the trail of a pair of cans from a seller on this site so in the not too distant future the Titanium BFs will be on the market.

my Venom hi-levels were out of line when I fitted them,one stuck out further than the other and one was definately lower.....
ten minutes just to loosen all the clamps and realign everything and it was sorted
I found it easier to leave the bolts at the link pipes below the footrests till last,bit of a wiggle to put them in but it done the job
