Scoob I've done exactly what your asking except in reverse. I had a little over an inch clearance with the Tsukayu bags and my Cobras upon the initial install. Changed out the Cobras for OEM exhaust and still had a similar clearance. Your going to love your Tsukayu hardbags. I have the leather covered Strongs.

The post is old. Scoob has had the bags on for quite some time.
