My flat tracker has a high level exhaust that attaches at the right rear upper shocker mount. Vibration and the fact that the exhaust wants to sit further out means the stress has sheared the bolt.
I plan to drill out the old threaded rod that the nut that holds the shocker on screws on to. The use a longer shouldered bolt through the thicker bush so that a fist nut can hold the shocker in place then on the extended thread use two nuts with washers to hold the exhaust, this will allow the exhaust to sit further out, where it wants to be.
Question. Is the threaded rod actually screwed into the bush? or is it part of the bush? or is it welded in?
I'll try and load some pictures.
