Glad my delkevic system isn't the only one getting in the way of the sump bung, I had to grind down a ring spanner in a way and bend it a bit to get it to fit, it gets the job done removing the bung.... Getting it back in causes an hour of swearing lol. If you take a look at the delkevic system, you'll see how it's "Webbed foot" design where the 4 pipes connect into 1 is the worst design choice I've ever seen.

Another issue mine caused was the rear brake lever catching on the link pipe, so I had to grind away at the brake lever, made it look tidy of course, and it works like a treat.

I do wish aftermarket component suppliers would think harder about the the location and format of original fasteners. I've just recently had to replace an engine mounting bolt, and contrive a means of torquing it, simply because no wrench could get near the original torx bolt head to do it up once the aftermarket engine guards I bought were put in place. Those pipes sound nice, though, Dave.

Nice one Dave, pleased your happy with it now, there not cheep things so when a problem arises ya get a bit miffed as to why they didn't sort it before the release eh! RSM8.

A common problem on aftermarket systems on many a bike Dave....sounds nice though buddy!

Removing the pipes to change the oil would be somewhat awkward!
