Exhaust bracket woes
Exhaust bracket woes
Good afternoon guys and gals,
I have a 2007 Ultra. My bike has true duals so I have a little "L" shaped exhaust bracket for the rear head pipe. I am replacing it today for the 3rd time. I have a built engine 110whp/116wtq. Has anyone come up with a way to keep from breaking this little bracket or is it just something I'm going to have to live with... Thanks in advance.

The OEM bracket has a stud, not a hole for a bolt. When I get this one changed, I'm going to take the old one to a Chapter Brother who is a machinist that is going to fab me another bracket with a hole and when this one breaks, I'll do exactly that.

I had trouble with the heavy P clamps that held my aftermarket exhaust on. I put them in a vise (one at a time) and heated the bent part red, then clamped it tightly closed and let it cool while still clamped "closed" Never broke again. I think the heat took the stress out of the sharp bend...hope this helps...
