Muffler/Exhaust pipe hits pedals

sometimes you can rotate the muffler on the bolts enough to clear the pedals .Sometimes you need to bend them a little don't try and bend it with it bolted to the head put it in a vice and do it .

Never thought of drilling the holes Nougat, purty cool. Gonna try that

I once put a China girl on a Moondawg. Crank just barely tapped the muffler. I got away with kicking it. I am not recommending that but worked as it needed about 7 hairs to clear.

Couldn't find it for you NC. but a member here posted pics of parking his car on the flange and used that as a vise, snork.
Any one remember what thread that was? Too funny but worked for him.

With a vise, you can just lean into it and bend. Aside from steel toed boots, about the best way I have found. But as with all the above posts, lots of folks here who will offer thoughts.

on my bike i filed grinded my cranks in just enough its not recomended but i havent had any problems

ohh but that was on a poo poo pipe and i also put that in a vice and made it oval in shape where it contacted crank

but i assume yours is stock if i was you find anything to bracee it and bend it by hand if you know some one with a vice or torch borrow it

you can bend em with a vise, idealy using wood or similar to make 'soft' jaws (the pipe will deform the wood nicely to soften the bend)

Or you can buy a wider crank to make your pedals be wider spaced.
