Well, I played around with the exhaust a bit more today. I took out my caliper bolt and turned my eccentric 180 degrees. I also took off my hugger as it was usless with the eccentric in this position. Two problems I see with the flipped ec centric -
1. the chain is riding on the top guide ( no test ride just on side stand )
2. if it gets a bit loose, chain can start to touch the center stand ( not a problem by adding 1/2 inch bigger rubber stopper.
So I turn it back and without the hugger I have about 3 -3 1/2 inches of clearance, I don't think this will be enough. I would order the Thurn tail riser links, but I think it will put the chain in the same position. So for now I am still fiddling with it while I wait for my Honda goodies to get here and put the bike back together.
