Lost Exhaust Nut

Hey all,
&nbsp\\;
Thought I would run a question by you.&nbsp\\; I am installing the 3" extensions from Ness on my 2007 Night train.&nbsp\\; Everything went great on the shifter side.&nbsp\\; The brake side, what a pain in the a**!&nbsp\\; Enough complaining though.&nbsp\\; I still have stock exhaust and I had to take the exhaust loose to get to the brake line.&nbsp\\; So I did so and when I was reinstalling the exhaust one of the exhaust nuts on the rear head fell.&nbsp\\; It did not fall onto the ground of course!&nbsp\\; I believe it fell into the right side of the lower case.&nbsp\\; Where the shift linkage hooks up.&nbsp\\; I think that is all a sealed unit but I want to confirm that it is and if I will have any problems if I leave the nut in there?&nbsp\\; Please help, a little freaked out!!

RE: Lost Exhaust Nut

Thanks guys. I will try and fish it out.&nbsp\\;If I can't get it out of there I will get a new one.&nbsp\\;Will there be any damage if it stays in there?
