My e-series pro-meg full pipe was melting through my rear brake hose, so i rerouted it. It completly burnt through my friend's with the same exact pipe. Now i'm looking at the Reservoir hose and its melting as well and sits right on the pipe basicly. It looks like there's no way to turn where it goes so I was thinking of putting some washers and a longer bolt to make the reservoir stick out some and maybe tie the bottom part to the frame and pull it away some. But even if i pull it away from the pipe this only gives me about 1/4" clearance, Is this enough? Anyone else have problems with this pipe?

i've got the r-4 pro-meg and i'm not experiencing any melting problems, you best bet though would be to wrap some header tape around the header behind your resivor

wierd..i put a longer bolt in it and a spacer, and then tied down the bottom part away from the pipe, seems to be fixed now. thanks.
