    Hey all,
    I was wondering if anyone had advice for me: I recently purchased a '99 VFR 800. It came with a Two Brothers carbon high mount exhaust. I love the way it sounds! It gives the V4 a rumble, but isn't so loud to make my neighbors hate me. Anyway, I am in the process of making this bike more practical by adding Givi saddle bags; the only thing is, the exhaust is right in the way. I need to be able to lower it about 3 inches in order to fit the Givi bracket. I've asked local auto muffler places, and they don't want to touch it; We're not looking at an enormous move at all!
    Any solutions or advice?
    Thanks,
    Clint

    You need to find someone with a low mount to swap with.
