The muffler simply HAS to run in parallel with the bodywork, otherwise it just looks out of place. If you could raise the entire muffler and run it along the edge of the fairing... but that would involve much more than just turning the peg bracket.
Plenty of bikes get away with the exhaust not running parallel w/ the body work. TLR, RC51, etc. I think Aprilia may also have a model with upswept pipes. Seems like a V-Twin phenomenon... But whatever... Either way, the bike is sweeeet as hell.
I'd strip the lip of the front wheel too. :blink:
