tru duals question
hi all, i have a 2000 flhtpi 77,000 miles with tru dual exhaust...rear cylinder head pipe is cracked in a few places at the curve where it comes out of the cylinder. I've sourced a new one but my question is this...is there supposed to be a bracket of some sort to mount the pipe to? The only fastening points on this pipe are the 2 flange nuts at the head and the 2 bolts where the slipon mounts under the bags. I have the FSM and it only shows single exhaust with a crossover pipe. I've owned the bike for about 9 years...its always been like this...I think its missing something, it actually slid down and was resting on the outer primary cover and wore a spot into it...any and all responses much appreciated.

My 86 has true duals, there is a bracket/clamp where the starter is mounted to the inner primary.I believe yours has to have the same.Mine is from Paughco.Any idea who made the pipe? Post up a picture of it, some one here will be able to i.d. it .Then you can track down the necessary bracket.That pipe must be secured with the motor.

Even the Stock system has a bracket like stated above ... The Aftermarket Exhaust are usually supplied with another similar bracket that fits their pipes. I had to buy that bracket for my V&H True Duals (missing from a "Used" system)
Is there any electric engraving on that replacement Head pipe? ... "D451" ?

The Rinehart True Duals on my 03 RKC have a support tab welded to the header that bolts to a "U" shaped bracket that mounts to the starter bolts. The tab cracked off my header a few years back and made a HELLUVA lot of noise till I got it home. New header holding up just fine..........
