Anyone out there 5'8" or less and running these pipes? I'm looking into getting them, but I noticed my right leg sits real close to the engine, right where one of the pipe curves would be on the Big Radius. Am I gonna be burning my leg or should I look into the Cobra System?

I'm exactly 5'8" and i did have a little trouble with my leg touching the rear cylinder header pipe while stopped at red-lights. I lowered it 2 1/4" with the PCS links and problem solved 8)

What about while riding? Or was it just a problem with both feet on the ground? I just bought the PCS links but was only planning on using the 1" for now. Good to know about the 2 1/4" though!

With the stock exhaust I would ride with my right leg hugged up against the engine case. Now that the header pipe is in the way I just keep my foot towards the outside of the foot peg and it works out just fine. In the future I may get some sort of highway pegs that I can flip out so I can extend my legs fully on long trips.

Just the insight I was looking for. Thanks!

not a problem. if you do decide to go with the Big Radius be prepared to feel like a little boy on Christmas morning when you first fire her up...sounds amazing and has a nice deep rumble 8)
