Hey guys,
I am new to this forum, but I am long timer of the american version(DML (http://www.ducatimonster.org/smf/index.php?topic=17662.new).)
I have 02 MS4 with Leo Vince High mount slipons and recently added CycleCat rearsets. With my current setup, I am buring the sides of my boots on the S-bend of the high pipes. The problem area, the part that is hitting, is the upper most bend at the top of the "s" just before it enters the exhaust can.
2 options I have already tried:
1) Termi Guards:
I have looked into getting the CF guards that come with the Termi's, but the S-pipe is made completely different. The Leo pipe is more of a direct verticle change, where the Termi's end up being longer and stretch the "S" out a bit more. Therefore, the terminal end of the guards are shaped different and won't line up.
2)Spareshack Version:
I have also checked out the Spareshack version, but it appears that it would not fit because it would have to adapt to the curvature of the upper most aspect of the "S" to be affective. I do not honestly think these would work. I emailed Stuart, but the reply I got wasn't terribly reassuring, and since they are going to cost be >$100 to get to the USA, I want to make sure.
Here is a photo of my bike, as well as the photo in the sig line. These photos are pre-Cyclecat install.
Please note, the area I need protected is at the upper most bend of the "S" pipe.

Here is a current pic of the "s" pipe and you can see where I am burning Mr. Boots.

This is a larger shot form the right.

Any info or ideas will be appreciated, and thanks in advance,
