Help with exhaust install
I ordered new pipes from jackpot exhaust (fuel moto) but they are closed now for the weekend. My question my current exhaust and the stock exhaust has the tabs line up and the bolt goes through both holes (from the exhaust tab connected to the transmission) The new pipes don't have a hole to put the bolt through its just an open shaped tab. Am I missing a piece or is it just supposed to be tightened down, that does not seem secure to me. Here are a photo of current set up and the tab I am explaining. Thanks PS the current exhaust tab in the photo is for this set up, I have the stock hanger for the new pipes since that's what looks like I need to use

I would think that by the time you torque down the exhaust flanges and then the hanger bolts, the transmission mount should be pretty much rock solid. To me it looks as though the open tab is deeper overall than the old mounting flange was. Just get it tight and use enough of "the bikers best friend", blue locktite.

Okay thanks guys, i will give that shot, doesn't seem secure, but maybe your right after the exhaust is in place, it will be fine. Feel like i was missing some other bracket or piece.
