Need help making exhaust-mount bracket

[maxpower3]

Tried searching, didn't find anything.

I recently bought this exhaust setup from Ardcore.

The pipes look good, I'm just a little perplexed at the rear-bracket setup to attach the end of the pipes to the frame. You can see from the picture that there's a small bit of tubing coming from the frame, but I can't figure out what else is going on back there. Anyone have in pics of a similar setup to help me out here?

Thanks in advance.

To me it looks like you'd have it if you welded a strip of metal pointing forward onto the end of the tube. I see a clamp there that looks like it could be going around that strip. The clamp for the wrap is further down toward the end. That's what I see anyway.

Sounds about right to me. Although I don't really like holding exhaust with a hose clamp. On my pipes , I welded a tab to the pipe, a tab and rod to the back exhaust mount and bolted it together. You can see the rod for the backside just under the air filters. Kinda hard to see. That was the idea.

If you were going to use the strip and clamp idea, you could cut the little strip out of a piece of large diameter pipe, so the curve in it would help keep the exhaust centered and help it resist sagging. As the clamp pulls it into that curve.

Yup, great idea.Neccessity is the mother of invention.

Here's what I'm thinking. A piece of tubing welded to the rear of the frames. A piece of flat bar welded to that tube, with about 2 inches sticking out towards the front wheel. a common hose clamp onto that bar and around the exhaust. Any better ideas?

Should work. I don't think you need a really tubing to support it though. I'd use something smaller.

I also like the idea of using an arc'd bar in place of the flat bar to hug the exhaust.

There ya' go! Let it flow. This, (to me), is the fun of building a chop. No rules. Make it yours.

You could weld a horseshoe onto the pipe to lay the exhaust in. I remember a guy who had a horseshoe on his bike doing something...I forget what.

to bad they are not stacked.... you can connect them to each other and no frame tabs.
