NUTS! Muffler fell off [b]UPDATE[/b] - Page 2

Any leads on a replacement?

Mine came completely apart today with 650km on the Odometer. I was able to slide a larger, thick piece of steel under the outer skin and weld the bracket back on. Not sure if it's a permanent fix or not.

Seems like you and I are the same page at about the same time, Bug.

I've not had the patience to look for a replacement, but the dealer honered my warantee and sent me a new one and a new gasket for free. Fix the one you have the way I fixed mine and it should be good until the frame it's bolted to falls apart too. I'm leaving the new one in the garage and sticking with my repaired one for the time being as I think it's stronger than the original.

I'll keep fixing the bike and riding it but I don't think I'll be putting any extra money into it like a 'high performance' muffler.

For better or worse, I think I got what I paid for. All in all I'm satisfied, but a bit irritated. :wink:
