    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have done a couple of searches looking for the size studs that others have used when switching from bolts to studs and couldn't find what I was looking for. My engine uses bolts that are M8x1.25x45. Would I want a stud that length or shorter or longer. The max lenght the local part store can get is 45mm. What have you guys and gals had luck using?
 
What pipes are you using?
I would assume that different exhausts requires different length studs.

Use a punch, or a nail, or something else you can fit into the hole and measure it.
 
It is the stock exhaust with stock cast aluminum flanges. The stock bolts are 45mm. Would studs need to be longer or same length?
 
Use 2 inch stainless steel set screws. Put them in with the normal allen wrench that fits them.That is what is in all my bikes..screw having broken exhaust studs. This fixes thaty problem permanently and they can be taken out later if you or anyone who buys it wishes to do so.
