I am struggling getting the exhaust to connect to the hanger, my bike is an 85 K I have a 87 exhaust a later foot hanger without the rubber bushes and I can't get the mounting holes to line up. I have made a plate welded to the later type exhaust bracket but you can see from the photo the exhaust is about 50mm closer to the engine than it should be. Were the earlier bikes fitted with slightly shorter exhaust pipes, because I have difficulty getting the clearance to fit the clamps and there are problems with the side stand as well.
I was thinking of grinding off the exhaust bracket along the black line in the picture to get slightly better clearance
Any other ideas before I start grinding?
