Ok, I fitted my JL3 exhaust today on my Sil Gp, all bolted on looks right (?), but! The running board is getting caught on the bolts from the front fixing bracket and wont seat properly.

Is this normal?

Do I need to get cutting?

Have I just fitted it wrong?

(A few fitting instructions wouldn’t go a miss with some of these expensive scooter parts.)

Cheers all.

that's good service.
[following a tip from jason frost on another forum] I weld a bit of rod to the underside of the runner, then bend the metal around this and weld again. makes for a neat edge.

nice avatar btw ;)

Me too. Good service, but the foc bracket still didn't fit. I ended up making one :roll:

Apparently it seems to be a Mugello issue I was told :?
