Lloydy - I apologise for the others who have hijacked your thread!!!!
Are these just tight or no-where near fitting? If they are nowhere near fitting, do you have the right pipes, what size are they?
Can you try applying a little heat to them so that they expand?
-------------------------------------------------
After all the ribbing I've been taking about my "expertise" with hammers, I decided to take an alternative approach to lining up my termis!!
Here's the method;
- You have to select a particular track that provides the precise angles of kerbing required for "proper" alignment
- make sure there's a motorbike trackday on there
- pretend that you're there to take part
- sneak out with the other riders
- approach your bend of choice far too fast
- brake like a b*stard
- drop the bike on its ear
- run off the edge of the tyre
- carefully lie the bike on its side
- direct the bike toward the kerbing
- connect with the kerb at the exact angle
- hey presto - reworked exhausts!!!
Unfortunately this method does in fact seem to be less reliable than the hammer method and is bloody expensive.
Last year I tried the head on crash with a car method - this did line the termis up perfectly, it was the rest of the bike that didn't line up after that!!!!
