Default exhaust bracket

I was looking over my bike, and I found that one of my brackets is broken. it's the piece that connects the rear head pipe to the top of the transmission. I've got true duels, so it doesn't have the y section to add stability. now obviously I'm gonna replace it, but do I need to worry about the flex of the pipe maybe hurting my header bolts. it seems to have been like this for awhile, the break is already brown, and the pipe is still tight. it's an 06 glide.

Pretty common, they are cheap. I doubt your bolts are damaged ..I have had one break on my 07 already.

Same thing happened to mine when I had the V&H tru duals on it.
Instead of buying another POS mount from V&H, I took the broken mount to a welder and he made a new one that was much beefier. I think he charged me $20.00.
