How high is high? What bike? Got a pic? I have Ogio bags on my Bandit and they're awesome.

Thats a pretty low exhaust. Probably thinking something closer to the seat? Givi has a handful of frames, i was checking their website looking for something for my 696 Monster which has pretty high dual pipes. I know on my bike those Ogio's would be resting on the side of my cans.....probably melting all to hell.

It's for a hypermotard , it's pretty high on the left side. Kind of like dirt bike high.

Like this high?
The left mount he left stock, the right one had to be modified to avoid the exhaust.

Some soft luggage is insulated on the bottom and the back for this exact reason, they can pretty much rest on the exhaust without damage.... your underwear & beer will probably get pretty warm though
Edit: Apparently I am overstating the thermal protection offered by this insulation... manufacturers limit the bags to "1" of clearance" or "momentary contact"

Hey cbcanada. The street triple has high pipes. Givi make a frame that bolts on and keeps the bags off the pipes. Lots of ideas out there. Sw-motech and twisted throttle have a system called 'blaze connection system'. It has a metal rod that clips on the rear passenger pegs that keeps the bags off. I am sure you could frabricate something for your one side.
