Is this how yours mounts up too?

The bracket is very loose, I can wiggle the exhaust around easily. I believe it is an M5 (just brought the bike home yesterday), maybe it's not the right bracket?

Yeah i think it's the wrong bracket.....it should be a lot tighter than that, as in the same OD as the can

I have to agree.

That's what I thought. I was able to get a new bracket shipped from TBR, will see if it fixes the problem.

Hrmmm.. I think what I did was put both flat metal mounting spots on the same side.

Try it that way, it looks like it will work.

 

[ckai]

It almost looks like how a M5 bracket would be on a M2 can.

Mine was tight. In fact it was so snug that when I tried to feed the wire for my plate lights around the bracket, they keep slipping out. Gave up but luckily you can't see them since the wire is black and I painted the bracket black as well.

I reckon it's a bracket issue.

i think i put the flat bits on one side aswell, try tht

I did try mounting the bracket to one side of the bushing. The clamp fits well that way, but it brings the can up so high that it touches the taillight, and actually melted a small part of it. For now I have it clamped together with a little custom bracket I made so that it is secure, but sits lower to not melt the taillight. I'm thinking the clamp is from a different bike, as it measures to be an M5 exhaust and therefore definitely wouldn't be an M2 clamp. I will update when the new clamp comes on Thursday.

Pretty sure most of them tend to touch the tail light.

I have the melting issue and with the 10SE color kinda sucks switching to arrow reinstalling heatshield etc. this summer :/, Id watch your tail fairing and light fixture for signs of melting even with new bracket

 

[jared]

just went out and looked at mine. looks like you've got it on there exactly right. wrong strap i guess...

 

[PCFRonin]

a mate just got his new one today.. I'll have a look to see if his is the same

 

[axsys]

Got my new bracket from TBR today, fits perfectly. Thanks guys!

 

[Ferret]

hey i'm PCFRonin's Mate they sent me an M2 Bracket for the M5 CF Blackseries pipe i bought >.< which was WAY too small =/ then were meant to send the right one today and they sent an M2 Bracket AGAIN.... so i have to wait until tomorrow. one of the guys at the shop said the M5 Bracket has to sit lop sided he thinks has anyone had the M5 and had the issue? I'll soon find out when it does come in though....

The M5 bracket I just got did not have to be mounted lopsided, it mounts just like I have it in the first picture and fits the pipe perfect.

Ok so they sent another bracket and its perfect if you don't mount the frame in between it..... the dealers are idiots.... my mechanics have sent them size's and everything surely its not that hard to supply the right bracket with a pipe you supply..... =/

you shouldn't have a melting issue with that M5 in carbon, it doesn't get as hot as the metal skinned mufflers.

I could touch mine with my bare hand right after a ride and not get burnt.

 

[Ferret]

for anyone that has a similar issue with getting the wrong bracket the Part No. for the M5 675 canister clamp is 005-5C2 and heres a small part list they sent me from TBR.

 

[clyons]

I'm pretty sure the bracket on this 675 is like that, how common is plastic melting when things are mounted correctly?
