Weld it up......it can probably be done right on the bike. Or send that last picture to the manufacturer he might weld it up for you if you send it to him or..... he might have one laying around that you can have.......cheap?	itgoes NOW ONLINE Platinum Max Posts: 4890 Thank you received: 2348

Yes, I did get it @ a GREAT price & have spanked allkinds of bikes with it too,but by no means should it fall apart..?? Right? This is just another sign of a bad design by Jon, over @ UFO.. It may be about time for a new pipe setup..	Qtip NOW ONLINE Platinum Max What ever! Posts: 6239 Thank you received: 1687

No thx! It's about to fall off the bike now.. Header wrap on the back header is falling off. This means I have to take the swing arm off to deal with this.. More I think about it the more I get	Qtip NOW ONLINE Platinum Max What ever! Posts: 6239 Thank you received: 1687

Ted did you have that bracket rubber insulated ?

Take it to a good welder and have him Jack the pipe up to the bracket with a sizzor jack

take a wire wheel disc on a 4 in angle grinder clean it up and lay a good Mig weld

right in the filit , That pipe is steel right ? and run it till it dies then buy a Brocks.

My 2 Ct you dont need to take the swingarm off to remove theat UFO a Sawzall will work just fine. lol

If you get in a pinch I have complete front system hanging up in the shed if you had to piece sumpin

together

Really is a simple fix Q, easy peasy weld job. Once it's welded re-torque your connections if you think they are leaking.	itgoes NOW ONLINE Platinum Max Posts: 4890 Thank you received: 2348
