Delkevic 9" Oval Install Problems.

[jbird06_imp]

Hello again, not sure if I got misfit mid-pipe or others had the same problem. The mid-pipe stay doesn't match up with the center stand effectively. Pics attached. The only thing I can figure if the end is suppose to go over the ring at the end of the header which doesn't make allot of sense. But that is the only way it will center it. Also, I have tightened the clamp between the mid-pipe and the header and when the center stand strikes it, it moves the mid-pipe. I can't get the pics to appear. I choose the file, I choose add the attachment, it shows up as a IMG .jpg when I choose insert into post, it changes screen but doesn't post the pic?
OK, the pics posted.

I had the same problem. I had to adjust the center pipe and tighten it more on both sides. Also, when I take the bike off the center stand I'm on the bike and I quickly move my left foot to "soften" the blow of the center stand before it hits the stop.

OK, that was what I was going to do also. I think the problem was I got a bad gasket. It was very hard to get on and the inside of it became damaged. I used the stock gasket that is not as wide and it wouldn't snug up. So, I used some sand paper to smooth up the end of the header and forced the gasket Delkevic provided a little damaged and it snugged up a lot more. I was trying to find a new one, but the only gaskets I could find was OEM. The center stand still doesn't strike square, but I guess I can live with it. I tried contacting Delkevic both US and UK for a new gasket, no response yet.

I have a complete Delkevic system and it doesn't line up perfectly.

Mine was the same. I cranked on the bolts until I had it where I wanted it then a couple of MiG tacks to keep it there.
Pretty solidly mounted now.
