Title: CMSL 500 Exhausts
Post by: philward on March 10, 2021, 09:02:50 PM

Just fitted the replica 323 exhausts I got from CMSL last year (bike nearly done now!) and fit was generally good except for centre stand stop bracket on the lower exhaust is about 20mm too rearward - stand just about sits on the edge of the rubber stop (if you let the stand flick up, it pushes past rubber and clanks into the exhaust). I think I will have to make a plate to put the rubber on and screw to the exhaust bracket.
Anyone else experienced this issue?

Yep, I had to do just that, my stand missed the stop completely.

Same. Made a small plate to bring it back towards the front of the bike.

Well not great that, anyone contacted CMS and told them? maybe they'll replace all the No3 cylinder pipes  ;D ;D

I'll probably make a bracket if mine does it but I'm thinking of using the main stand clamp bolts instead of the exhaust.

It's quite a way out. Just made one tonight out of stainless - you need to put a 90 degree 2mm lip (along the front to back length off the plate) to strengthen the bracket (20mm x 60mm ish plate really) - to stop it flexing when the stand hits the rubber
