Hi All, Stuck trying to get my exhaust pipes lined up with the front and back heads. Not sure if they are OEM or not. No removable muffler. 2 pipes welded together going into one. See pic (not actual bike)
I can get the front close and get the clamp on and catch a few threads on the nuts. At the rear head the pipe is too far forward. Out of frustration I started trying to lever the 2nd pipe back to force it in. Thought it was a bad idea n walked away. Any ideas. Trying not to chew up the new mesh lining that goes in the exhaust ports.
thanks v
were on the machine before? probably a heat related alteration. do not force anything, i would try and bring it to a muffler shop that has a hydraulic mandrel bender and tweak it.
I got it! Hopefully w/o leaks. Rear cylinder goes 1st ...front pipe is longer so you can get a little more leverage on it to make it fit with the front port. V
