Dear sb_direct,

I just wanted to let you know that I had previously bought this item and I am quite not satisfied with it. I've had problems with clearance and found out that because of it, my exhaust clamp rubbed into my swingarm and I might have to replace it now because it chaffed on a weld. I am using Leo Vince slip on and now using a holeshot exhaust and I am running into similar problems. It appears to me that the bracket needs to be bent out a bit more and bit longer to make the exhaust a tad lower. It saddens me that I will have to discontinue using your product due to clearance problems.

Kinda sort of looks like the one I made up a while back for my bike ran into similar issues but since I made my own it was an easy fix! :duh:

I broke down and ordered the holeshot bracket.  I am looking forward to receiving it.

I was just thinking about the response I got from the seller.  It kind of pisses me off that all they could say is that they have sold 40 of them with no problems.  There was no "send it back, maybe it was bent wrong".  Nor was there anything to help fix the situation.  The stupid bracket damaged my swingarm and he says that maybe my exhaust is bent?  I don't think so.  I had clearance issues with both my holeshot and Leo Vince which are both in good condition.

I got my holeshot bracket in today.  I like it much better and should've done that in the first place.
