    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.

This exhaust came with the bike I picked up, and I really want to use it, but the header gasket (don't know what to call it) has come apart. What should I do?
 
Is it the flared end has broken off the collar that slides into the header?
My Kerker is not the same.
I would think a local muffler shop would be able to weld the flange back on.
 
Brian, that is what i thought it was as well, a crushed copper gasket.
I looked at a Kerker i have and it does have a flared lip on the header but it is not on a separate sleeve like the one in his pic.
 
Wow that's weird how it would come off like that so evenly , never had that happen before I have had a lot of kerker a , in fact I just put one on my 1170 kat last night!:cry:
 
I've had the flanges crack off neatly all the way round, just like that. Yes, it can be welded back on - I used to gas weld them, but no longer have the kit, so I'd just have to hand it to a local TIG welder for neatness.
