exhaust problem tonight
was riding along and heard a couple decel pops(fairly loud) so then i heard a rattling noise and i pulled over and looked at the bike and noticed the bolts were gone from the flange on the front cylinder..so i rode to my friends house and we looked and couldnt find any replacement bolts in his collection..so i took one from the rear cylinder till tommorow when i can get to the hardware store...has anyone had this happen before?

I'd get it from the dealer. If the tread is a hair off or it stops too soon, you will be buying a new head. You also have tensil strenght and heat issues. Get the real deal and use loctite.
