I received my exhaust bracket today with two other products I ordered from McCoy motorsports. I am not satisfied with the product. Their web site says that it was made to fit my 03 R1... but really it ALMOST fits. the hole where you slide the bolt through to attach the muffler is way too damn small for the stock bolt. so I had to drill it out to get it to go through. @nd the bracket is too long. I had to force my akrapovic exhaust down so the hole would align. I know its not the exhaust thats causing the problem because it fit fine when I was using the foot peg/ Bracket. So, in conclusion... i'm sticking with it for now, but to everyone else with an 02/03... i'd get a different brand like the ti Lockhart phillips or something along that line

actually... if you don't mind doing a lil drilling, the graves is better! the ti LP exhaust bracket looks ugly. all I had to do was open up the hole and make it an oval, going up the bracket. It's awesome now! the over all appearance is far better than the rest.

:p :p :p
I know I totally went the other way with my posts! I bought that one because I liked the way that it looked, and then got a little disappointed that it wouldn't fit right... at first. the hole where the muffler strap bolts on was way too small for the bolt. Then it seemed as if the bracket was too long, because I had to force my exhaust downward so I could align the muffler strap and the bracket. After thinking about what I should do... I decided to bust out the drill and widen and extend the hole up. (so I didn't have to force the exhaust down). no that the problem is solved... I'm happy again.
you know what I'm talking about?!?!?!:yesnod or:no
