Default Header Prob

My Hedmans aren't going in too well ... and the motor's already in. The right side is hitting the idler arm. Motor mounts are new. How close are yours to the idler?? HELP??

Paul, I've heard of people making a dent in that tube to get them to fit.
I have Dynomax ones and there were no clearance issues.
