Yeah, I have a bullet bike… its nothing special, a lil banged up, but i love it, and it works… well speaking of that, the exhaust canister has been puttering and puffing lately. So I decided to take a look and see if it has something loose in the canister or if its got some kind of problem inside, so I unbolted it all and inspected and looked through it and couldn’t see any problems, “not much I can do there,” so, I was just putting it back on… AND
I’m tighten the bolts that are in the canister to the mount on the rest of the exhaust.. and it breaks… the threaded bolt apparently was pretty rusted and when i went to tighten it, it broke… that sucks.. but hey there’s two more bolts maybe two will hold it just fine. So I’m tightening the second one.. and *#@% There goes another bolt. So yeah my frickin’ bike is out of service for a while. The funny thing is.. I look to buy a new exhaust canister.. and an OEM is more expensive than an aftermarket Yoshimura pipe that adds horsepower and sound. Maybe thats typical for the stock part to be more expensive, but I was surprised to find out. Anyway I will be getting a Yoshimura Exhaust pipe in about a week. And hopefully all works well and I can be out riding again. I was looking into getting a new pipe anyway.. but just not HAVE TO GET A NEW PIPE RIGHT NOW… Things can change in a hurry, that’s for sure!!!
Well I hope all is well and if anyone has a motorcycle and likes to ride, hit me up, we can cruise! My bro also rides so yeah.. let’s RIDE!!! Later everyone! have a good day! peace!
