Yes Chris, I agree, the angle is not just a simple fix such as a shorter bracket. I found I had to cut and shut the stinger pipe to re-route maintaining original stinger length otherwise simply moving the pipe would have it hit the airbox. It's not the muffler that's the problem it's the pipe ;)

Lose the hose clamp and tack on a couple of loops to hold springs. Adjust the muffler tab so it mounts to the seat mount and paint it black. Whinge whinge !

what hose clamp? the original pic shows it mounted to the seat mount and it doesn't look much different.

I still see the same issue Brad (or lack of issue depending on perspective) everything else looks stupendously wonderful but the muffler no matter how bling or bland still needs to follow the lines of the seat to fit the picture in my veiw. No doubt not everyone has the same veiw ;)

It's only a minor change but to me it makes the world of difference :-\ this is almost getting as bad as the footpeg saga ::)

The problem every manufacturer here has is that the chambers and mufflers have to be interchangeable with originals and other brands.
If you jig the chamber to suit the original muffler you end up with the same droop.
I think I did change the stinger on mine a bit to lessen the droop but from memory the stinger tube comes close to the frame tube / shock / side cover.
Reasonable clearance from these must also be considered.

It's just the dodgy tiler that fitted that one Geoff....mines straight as an arrow...he just needs to move the bracket up.

Sweet swingarm knew my notion of applying a little gold to mine was heading in the right direction. 8)
