Finally got my bike last Friday from the local dealer, where it spent an extended period of time after being stolen - mostly waiting on the insurance checks and parts (THX to State Farm for the $$$). Anyways, had the chance to actually lay hands on the bike again, made some measurements and photographed my clearance issues. The top of the stock pipe to the nearest point on the stock turn signal housing is 2.25 inches at the closest point and the air gap between the stock muffler can and the Corbin BeetleBag is about 0.5 inch, from one end to the other. Will post my digital photos if I can (NO prior photo posting experience) and if helpful to either my bags or center stand clearance issues.
Therefore, if anybody out there has full exhaust systems, particularly the BDE Gen III StreetSmart or the Akropovic Evo, and still has the stock turn signals, please measure the closest distance between your muffler and the stock turn signal housing and post same; close up side and/or rear photos also appreciated.
Brock at BDE says the center stand won't work, but Busa Tamer (another board?) says it will. Brock was unsure about the Bags; I've just emailed him the measurements. Is there that much variability in how you bolt these systems up?
