Question Lock washers on exhaust flange?
I have Rineharts 2-1 exhaust and about every 300 - 400 miles I have to retighten the exhaust nuts. Tried new exhaust nuts and let the bike warm up and retorqued but they still came loose. Maybe lock washers?

You could always just put a second flange nut. that's what a lot of people here do.
