03shee, The stock or rubber clamps su%k at the very least! spend the $ and buy good ones that are aluminum with the rubber inside them. I'm also working on how to get the black stuff that melted to the pipes off. It's my G/F's Bike and now I'm kinda in trouble.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

 

We ran into this problem on my old shee. I ended up buying the aftermarket clamps for it right off the bat.

 

i used the ones that toomey sent, theres nuttin left of them. But I also have new billet clamps just figured id use those up first. guess i was wrong!!! Atleast I know now that im not the only one with this problem thanks!!

 

Are you sure you're not running lean? Maybe you're pipes are getting too hot from that?
