Recurring Exhaust Leaks
I have owned my '07 Super Glide for less than a year. In that time, I have gone thru 3 different sets of headers. No matter what I do, within a few weeks of installing a header, the exhaust begins to leak at the flange. Twice, the flange ring welds broke. I'm referring to the steel rings that are on the head end of the headers, that help to retain the flange.
I've had two different HD techs take a look and they believe the motor mounts are still good... And, that the motor isn't moving all that much. The bike only has 10k on it, currently.
Any ideas? I LOVE this bike... But, it's the issues like this that are driving me INSANE!!!
