I found these: http://www.revpack.com/motorcycle/pr.../TourPack.html a couple of years ago: they are built great, they won't foul your pipe, they stay on without shifting, and they don't leak in anything but the worst extended downpours (for which I have the waterproof covers.

Highly Recommend.

My sport bags do not touch my carbon fiber pipe but it sit about 4 inches above it and the exhaust has blackened the underside of the saddlebag, and it has made the material very hard and it is no longer flexible like the other side.
