Looks like it is going to work but I am sacrificing just a little performance to do so...

Tell you what you do... when you get going on a semi-warm day.. first get going, now.. roll onto the road, roll into the throttle.. snap off then snap to WOT... if the back tire breaks free and just burns.. the tire is hard.. if it turns over a couple times, then hooks and bike stands up.. its soft.

Those Dunlops I ran for a while would burn all the way up the street til I let off the throttle... These PPs stand the bike up.

Looks like you got JArdine High mounts.. Mine dont mount as high as yours. Yet... I'm mulling over the idea of a R1 subframe with the dual cans mounted under the tail, and rerouting the exhaust like the guy that did the sportster exhaust.. using these cans, only shortened, and having the capability of putting straight pipes on it..

on a side note: you getting up there in miles.. did you do CCTs? Not that I'm pressing you to. I just wondered how much credibility you're giving that rumor of ALL CCTs being bad.. From what I hear alot do fail, but most dont... Just the ones that do, go with great expense.
