    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.

Installing new exhaust system

Well, my insurance has gone into hybernation and I am going to put the 1100 and 850 to sleep for the winter. But before I do it, i will be removing the old 4 into 1 system on my bike and will install the NOS 4 into 2 system I got earlier this year.

I have a question though. The outer two headers have attachment flanges that will bolt to the engine to hold them in place easy enough, two bolts per flange holds them in place. But the two inner headers (the H section) has two flanges on the ends of the pipes but they slip right off. Not trapped like the ones on the outer two...? Is there something missing? some sort of Clip or spacer or washer or something that will hold the headers in place? I confused!

Gerry by what you describe yes there are parts missing.
The inner two pipes have split flages that are removable (why? it makes no sense to me) If you can imagine what the outer flanges wuld look like if they were seperate from the pipe then psplit into two half moon looking pieces you will know what you are looking for I generally put a small amount of "maniseal" on these to help hold them during installation

Hey Dink, yes, this is what I was thinking. The center two I thought would be split, but the ones I have are one piece each. Very similar to the outer ones but they slip right off the inner two. Maybe they are the wrong ones. They came with the system when I bought it on ebay. I'll have to check with the Bike shop and see what they say! I am sure they will have to be replaced with something that actually holds the headers up against the cylinders!
Thanks

I think you probably have the right flanges, but what Dink was talking about is four sets of two flanges. one set per pipe. There is a slot apprx. 1/2 " wide on the end of the pipe that goes up in the head, these sets of flanges go in these 1/2" slots, then the flanges you have go against them to push the pipes in the head. The ones you don't have are aggrivating to hold in place, Dink uses an adhesive to hold them, I use 1 wrap of masking tape. Once you see the parts you don't have, it's pretty simple.
