Staintune

Sounds like you had it mounted wrong!

It is possible to have the flange on the wrong side- which would be problematic.

No, it was mounted correctly with the flange on the proper side of the footrest stay.
You would need to have installed a Staintune on a 2014 to understand this. It would be next to impossible to mount it wrong as Guth noted (on the outside of the footrest stay), because it would then be so far away and out of alignment with the header pipe that you would never get the compression joint sealed (or it would be extremely difficult to tighten the clamp and you could mangle things in the process).

This is a documented problem with the position/angle of the welded hanger bracket, and not me (Although, I, personally, have other documented problems).

Jim21680 was the one with the worst clearance. Check out his posts and mine below:

My experience was the same as Gumby's and Jim's, that is, very tight clearance to the lower shock bolt, almost touching. Before I ordered my Staintune, I asked Staintune if they had resolved this issue, and they said they had. But out of the box, when installed, it almost touched the lower shock bolt. Slightly bending the mounting flange gave me ~1/4" clearance.

I have a 2014 standard.
