When I stripped all the rear suspension a 6mm u shaped aluminium spacer dropped out from the top of the shock.
I have read about this being a mod - but could this be the reason the header pipes were actually touching the suspension link?
I will do a full post showing the carnage in doe of those links - truly shocking!!!!! (Pardon the pun !!!!)
Suspension spacer
Re: Suspension spacer
Even with a 6mm spacer nothing should hit.
Loud pipes don't save lives, knowing how to ride your bike will save your life.

I'm also fitting replacement headers when it all goes back together as the originals had been welded by a gorilla!!!!
