im in the same boat as you man. the kerker pipe that fits my 4 into 1 is nowhere close to clearing my gsxr swingarm. All of my ideas include custom piping that someone with a good pipe bender would have to do. All input is greatly appreciated from both of us.

I haven't done a swingarm swap yet but I did take my bike to Meinike (spelling) to have my pipe from a zx6 put on. The kid that worked there was excited because he does the same stuff all day long. Having a "custom" job come in made his day. He bent a peice of pipe and welded it on for $40 I think.

Here´s mine. Are ya going to make traditional 2 shock or monoshock? This is crusial Q since if ya do it monoshock you won´t have too big clearance problems.

Having a piece of pipe made seems to be the answer.
I was lucky with the braced arm I have. I just needed to rotate the mid-exhaust bracket away from the bracing.

I went with a monoshock setup, I have a mac 4-1 system, but the mac can doesn't really look right. I will more than likely go with a aftermarket slip on system with a custom bent pipe.
