Wrap strips of rubber on the beam where the exhaust is hitting against?

It's what I done after seeing where the exhaust was marking on the beam and cable tied it on.
eBay? Search rubber strips, could be worth a shot lol. I found a bit in my garage that was from my bike paddock stand (to grip the swing arm).

Yeah, seems to have stopped it as it just bouncing off rubber.

I used a rubber exhaust mount from halfords to put inbetween the pipe and the rear beam. It stays in place well and doesnt rattle now lol

we've always managed to tweak the angles so that it doesn't hit the rear beam.
sometimes there is a problem with worn engine mounts and if the engine rocks a lot the exhaust moves a lot too.
