Anyone out there got an 11XXGS with the stainless steel Zega Pro rack fitted? I need pics showing how much clearance there is between the lower rail of the rack and the silencer.
11XXGS Zega Pro pannier rack help needed

I've got the steel frames on my 1150 and there's not a massive amount of clearance, only a few mm, less than 10 I think. Best thing to do is fit a stubby

Think the older steel ones will be OK for what I want- need clearance top and bottom, not the vertical rails.
The bottom rail on the stainless ones does seem to be pretty close to the silencer, but I can only find this side on shot:

I had issues with my Remus muffler with Y piece touching the pannier. I slackened everything off and put a few washers between the frame and the muffler. Tightened everything back up and job done.

Should have mentioned, I have an 1100 so changing the can not really an option.

I wasn't suggesting changing the exhaust, just pointing out that there is a bit of adjustment available without straining the joint if you slacken it off the clamps reposition then it and then retighten. Alternatively shim out the frames were they bolt on, that will also give a bit of extra clearance.

Yeah, indeed. I was just clarifying what bike in view of some of the other replies. I don't know how much room the TT pucks need, what I want is to be able to put some alloy clamps on the top and bottom rails to mount a plastic backplate for some panniers I want to fit. These are the clamps:

Oh I see, me waffling on about the exhaust bolts is no use to you then. 
Have a look at this page.

It shows the pros from the back and the second video shows the lock mech. It's on a 1200 but you can see the thickness of the clamps when he removes the pannier.
Hope that helps.

Looking at the vid I kinda think that if the tangs on the pucks fit, then the clamps I want to use will too. Would like to be sure before lashing out 300 quid though...

That's a fair comment, what panniers are you fitting?
