=Five minutes was not my experience. The biggest problem that I had was getting the fasteners to thread properly into the brackets. They threatened to cross thread because of a slight misalignment between the exhaust and the bracket. I ended up loosening all of the bolts on the bag mount to allow the bracket to move around a bit to make it easier to get things aligned.
My plan was to drill it out and put a nut on it in the future. I will have to look at the clearance issue before I do anything dumb! Thanks for the warning.

Hi Gilby -
Yes, the lower mount points are threaded holes in the pannier mounts themselves, and the pipes just swing down to them once you've unbolted the upper mounts - takes five minutes tops! Only thing to be careful about is to make sure the bolt ends don't protrude so far on the inside that they could hit the swingarm on full compression, LH side especially. If they look like they could, just add spacers between the pipe and the pannier bracket so the end of the bolt is flush with the end of the threaded hole.
Cheers - Nick

Yep. The exhaust can mount in two positions. The lower is for use with the panniers.

Subject: [DucatiST] ST2 panniers help
Just picked up a 2002 ST2 in awesome condition a couple of weeks ago. It came with panniers but they weren't attached to the bike. When i went to put them on i realised why they weren't attached. A few years ago a new Staintune exhaust was fitted and it is sitting higher than the pannier brackets. The panniers don't even go close to resting on the bracket. Now i know bugger all about this stuff so can someone help me out and tell me if the height of the exhaust can be lowered to fit panniers, or am i stuck with it the way it is??
Cheers,
Gilby.
