nah fred the front lower hose goes right around it nicely, it just looks like it touches because it is behind the little adjuster bolts, but the rear hose that runs from the pump to the back of the head on the other hand did touch pretty substantially.
in order to get it to clear, and even this way it just barely clears(maybe 1/16" away) was to put a spacer between the exhaust hanger and the top hanger mount on the expansion chamber to move the pipe out. this in turn makes the silencer that much more out so i had to make a longer spacer to mount the silencer, which in turn also makes the stinger on the silencer hit hard on the rear fender support bar. i am going to remove it this evening and see how floppy they are, if they flop around, i dont know what im going to do then.
