| The difficulties of lining up / adjusting exhausts should not be underestimated!!! 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!!!! Tim   |
