Of the Buell race can with the front inside edge re-cut and welded so the AST shock doesn't clout it ?

Its the shock that gets modded- a bit of the front collar gets filed down ;)

No mods to mine either, although i just went and looked and the clearance is only around 2mm.

Very true!
Although that might suggest differences/tolerances in header pipes, or possible damage?

It's not on yet :oooops: but after seeing how close it was on a bike i saw at the Cosford meet,it looked like a potential problem :?

My end can needs taking apart anyway as the packing has long gone and just the perforated tube is rattling around in there

That was my bike I BBB and I think it is down to tolerances in the zorst :idea: suggest you try fit your system and see how you get on, you may be OK. Have done about 750 miles now on mine and the clearance is holding position. I am still unhappy with the excessive weight of the can and think that if I have a problem then I would have a can made up with a smaller outer in a lighter material. My feeling is that the sheer weight of the Buell item is a problem in itself as it must put a lot of strain at the front joint to the header pipe because the rear mount is effectively a hinge.
