Anybody have an Akrapovic slip-on for their 2005-2009 R1200RT that could take a few pictures for me? I'm trying to determine if I'll get any more clearance from the tire vs stock exhaust.

K26 R1200RT Akrapovic Slip-On (looking for pics)

First off, welcome to the forum 
Sure someone has a pic, not me, though the clearance issue can be changed. If running stock tires( 180-55) there should be about a half inch per owners manual. That can be adjusted with muffler clamp before snugging bushing at hanger. I have seen them touching the tire and also way wider than manual guidance
The shape and size of the Akro does give more clearance, but still need to set it right.

Thanks Steve - now I need to tinker haha. I was hoping Akrapovic had a spec/dimension chart so I could see the cross section. Basically, I'm trying to get about 1.5" of clearance from the tire to accommodate a life-axle mount for a dual-sport style trailer. I live near Kip Moto, he makes a product call the SherpaX which is an awesome little aluminum trailer and he has a mount that works on the GS, but as the exhaust is lower on the RT there's a space issue.

Problem solved...bought one used locally haha! I'm planning on creating a new segment of bikes. Dual Sport Touring. Needed some more clearance between the rear tire and the exhaust can to accommodate a live axle hitch on a dual-sport style single wheel trailer...more to come
