Title: Downpipes
Post by: SPCK111 on February 05, 2017, 08:58:17 PM
So had to change my downpipes today.  What a bitch of a job. Awkward as f***. Not much space behind the radiator to get to the header nuts even if you take off the bottom mounting bolt for the radiator.  Never doing that again.  😬

Well my own stupidity  in short.  I had to take the rear wheel out for a new tyre and because I had a rear hugger  fitted I needed to take the end can and slip on off the exhaust to remove the hugger. Unfortunately I lost my footing and the exhaust dropped about 6 inches and snapped the connecting slip on part from the downpipes clean off.  Was not a happy bunny.  😩
