Hi all, I'm nearly done with the clutch spline lube but I came across a showstopper today. When I bought the bike I was given a new rear exhaust mount that the previous owner had bought but not had time to fit, he replaced nearly everything so it seemed normal. However the new one does not fit, the spacer tubes are too long. Old one on the left, new one on the right in case you couldn't tell..
Looking on Motorworks there's only one bracket for sale, which I would guess is the same as my new one. Are there different versions of these? Is the old one made to fit? I guess I could fix it with a cut down bolt through the hole if I have to.. Kind of.
There is also the possibility I'm trying to fit it the wrong way up or something but the little nub only makes sense in one direction. It's very strange!
