bsa-Bill - same here - had to heat / bend the kickstart crank.
Re the original question - again, same problem here. I told Armours that if the kink in the pipe was a couple of inches further back, this wouldn't happen. Trouble is that would then cause a problem further back, though might be able to squeeze things together. My front pipe sits hard against the footpeg. Also, my silencer brackets are on the inside, as otherwise the pipes splay outwards.
