Dumb Exhaust Question
Noticeda day or so ago that my bike just wasn't running right. Pulled out the manual and started checking the obvious culprits and sure enough the bolts attaching the rear exhaust pipe to the manifold were very loose. In fact, when I say loose, one of them was about to fall off.
So, went to the local stealership and got two new gaskets. Here's where the dumb part of this question comes into play. I consider myself a fairly handy guy with a pretty decent set of tools, but I have yet to figure out a way to get a good torque on the bottom bolt becasue of the way the pipe circles back around to the left side of the bike.
Anyone have any tricks or suggestions for the proper tool to use here?[:@]

The 1/2 stubby is what I used, but I'm just assuming at this point that it's tight enough since there's no way to get in there with a torque wrench.
