I bought a set of Python pipes (made by V&H) off of Robbyville here on the forums. The bracket he had cracked in half so I called Revzilla and they contacted V&H who then mailed me the new bracket within a week at no charge. I never even purchased the pipes brand new .....

I ring the Oz distributor tomorrow and see if they help me out

Got bracket welded up and have been for a few rides and going well

When I took pipe off I also had broken rear exhaust stud in head, got a feeling this all related to pro-pipe, it's very hard not to scrape it and think a few scrapes may of caused it

well just off phone to Oz distributor of V&H pipes,

$219Aus for the bracket 582-P

8-10 week delivery time (sea freight as standard) or I can pay extra for air freight (he reckons $50-60)

a disappoint, definitely something to consider if you buy a Pro-pipe

I will contact V & H direct over the next couple of days and see if I get anywhere

If i wass you, i go to a machine shop, mine was repaired for $40 , if they send a new one ,you can keep it as a spare, they send me the same bracket, they all seem to crack or break after a few months ithink they don't have improved brackets
