I received the rear muffler from the BMW K1300R on Saturday.

Now I have to find a way to fit it. Originally, there is one fitting point on a clamp, and, on the bike, it is "hanging" from this upper mounting point.

On the Roadster, as my exhaust line is on the left side, I need to turn it up side down. And the muffler not being symmetrical on the longitudinal axis (its left shape is not the same as its right shape) I just can't turn the clamp around (unless I completely straighten it flat, and shape it again perfectly to get it flush with every face/edge of the muffler section's shape). So if I turn the muffler up side down, and keep the clap as it is, the mounting point will be is under the muffler.

How do you guys think I should mount it? I will of course use a rubber mount, but is a lower point OK ? It feels weird as the piece is almost 7 kg (integrated cat.).
Any idea, opinion, tip..; is very welcome
Thanks a lot.
