Default 90's Supersport High pipes

Do you hit your heel on the exhaust pipe or is it just my boat like feet?

Mine hit but it's because I keep the ball of my foot on the peg, if I lock my heal into the peg it's fine

Just went out and checked, Ducati performance rear sets, Termi high pipes, big foot, ride on balls of the foot and no markings on the pipes.. Maybe a full system is cut different.

I've got the higher high DP pipes on my 92 track bike and my size 12 heels sometimes hit the pipe on the right side because I also keep the balls of my feet on the pegs. What really spooky is when I'm hanging off and my high-side heel starts resting on the upper swingarm brace thingy. At first I thought the bike was flexing like crazy because I could feel this movement under my feet but didn't see how my foot could touch it. Then I figured it out. Also explained how the heel of my right boot has a burn all the way around on the outside Apparently from getting in behind the pipe when touching the swingarm.

Well Brand new Hi-mount Termi's in my 1995 900 ss/sp and I have size 14's and I have not really had any problem. However, I have not really ridden the bike that hard and or had it at full lean yet, b/c it is my trailer queen.
