Downsides to a high mount can?

I currently have a Two Brothers standard mount can. I love the sound but I'm thinking about going to the high mount. Besides the problem this could cause with saddlebags, are there any other reasons NOT to buy a high mount?

I guess I'm wondering why some people go with the standard mount over the high mount? I want to make sure I'm not overlooking anything. Thanks!

Hey Catamount, I can't say for sure about your bike, but I know alot of bikes you have to remove the rear pegs for a high mount can. So some people might go with standard if they're planning on taking the ol' lady on alot of trips or something. High mounts look awesome, do it. Plus then just gives ya more of an excuse that the ol' lady can't go with ya! "Sorry honey, no pegs back there for you, see ya in a week!!!" :-D

Haha! Actually Two Brothers makes a $20 kit so that you can use footpegs with the high mount. I think I'll pull the trigger!

I have the Triumph high-mount on my 2002 and it sounds great and also shows off the single-sided swing arm. Passenger pegs should not be an issue. I think skyking may also sell them.

I never had the low mount on the bike and I can't think of a single reason why you wouldn't switch except for the $$ factor (if that's an issue for you).

Hey CB, your ol' lady's high mount can fits just fine on the back of mine. Ohhh! :razz:

Probably not an issue, but heat?

Weird thing I noticed with the stockers on my '05. I ride all the time, including back and forth to work. On warm days, it would toast my butt. Not bad, and even a welcome sensation when the weather was cooler. I noticed when I switched to the Sargent seat that in some spots, the stock seat pan has holes and spaces in it - you can see the foam. The Sargent seat pan is solid, and I haven't noticed that peculiar warming sensation with it.
