anyone have a y pipe for a 2001 roadking they want to get rid of? mine is fractured and I don't wanna be throwing any more $$ at Harley dealer. I also don't like the idea of welding it and having to take it down once again.

Good Morning Tim,
I thought I had one but can't find it. I will tell you a good welder can repair the y-pipe better than new especially if its off the bike. I had it done to my 99 RKC years ago..... goldie
Thanks for the advice. Taking it off today it broke clean thru. Went to harley and got hosed for $410. Any small fracture in the future it's coming right off and welded. I think broken motor mounts (which I've had in the past) clearly cause to much pressure and tension to the which is bolted to the frame. Engineering flaw if you ask me.

They were notorious for breaking the Y pipe. My 2003 cracked mine 3 times. Welded it twice and found an ebay replacement once for nothing. Even cracked it once after new motor mounts. Finally, just did a different exhaust anyway when re-did motor.
