is it the airtech rear hugger? do you have pics? I actually had to make a small 1 inch bracket on the rear leftmost mount to prevent tire rubbing.

edit: by bracket I basically mean i took a 1/2" wide, 1.5" long piece of aluminum, drilled two holes on it, and extended the existing mount. This flexed the hugger together just enough to clear the tire. The airtech kit was never manufactured perfectly, and if you talk to anyone who has installed one, they always have to do some improvising to get it to fit.

the exhaust side needed a hole drilled and tapped into the swingarm.
