Angry Switchback exhaust collapse

If you have a switchback with a stock silencer you need to remove it and have a look down the thin end where it joins the rest of the system and check it hasn't disintegrated inside it seems to have happened more than once in the uk my 2014 switchback has had a new one under warranty at 7000 miles if it's a global problem HD needs to be making a better job of them as they are nearly Ł500
To buy in the uk !!!!!!

trash the stock system anyway to whatever aftermarket is legal where you live, it is 100% the cause of the bad vibrations on these bikes and so damn restrictive
