Re: Just came back from my first ride after "needle shim mod"

Patching a hole is one thing...Using it to "weld" a muffler is another thing entirely.

David ... Your muffler will come with a hanger and a clamp. Some people will clamp instead of welding. I chose welding because that was my comfort zone. Try clamping first. Just make sure it does not interfere with the heat shield placement.

David ... Good luck this weekend, take your time and do the job right. You can see what the exhaust looks like on my bike by going to GZ pics I just posted a few. Maybe it will get you enthused enough to get that exhaust job done. :2tup:

Hey David,
Yes, I put it on. It would look ugly without it. The weld would stick out like a sore thumb.
