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.

    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.

That depends on your definition of "bad".
It's bad on the engine (changes jetting requirements)
It's bad for noise pollution
It's bad on your ears
It's bad publicity for responsible motorcyclists

What broke? The hanger on the pipe or the mount on the frame? You can hold up the muffler with baling wire or a large hose clamp wo you don't lose it.

"Legal" is up to the authorities in your area. You might get away with no tickets, but the carbs still need to be re-jetted, you will still be upsetting people all around you, you will still be losing your own hearing.

Get a modern day bike. Unless you have some SERIOUS fabrication skills, and are willing to change the frame a bit, it will never fit.
Besides, if you had those kinds of skills, you wouldn't be asking how to salvage a broken mount on your muffler.

looking at the bike i figured pipe under tail is a no go
but does the state of texas have any muffler laws for motorcycles?

I am under the impression that EVERY state has laws of some kind, regarding the presence of noise-cancelling devices on vehicles.

The question is ... how strictly to they enforce them, and how lucky do you feel?

ok their is no muffler noise regulations but it says i must have a muffler that passes emissions tests

so i made a new bracket cut a 2 inch piece of steel and then drilled 2 holes and bolted it on:D
