exhaust broke, need cheap replacement

[chief]

Is it hard-mounted?  The original has the goat-bladder stuff under the bike that makes it a rubber mount. All the aftermarket drifter pipes used the existing rear foot peg, eliminated the goat bladder and didn't provide a rubber mount bracket... so aftermarket/replacement pipes ended up being hard-mounted. Besides the increase in vibration, it also stresses the pipes and many failed as a result.

Good luck with this.

im not sure but its not comletely stock (somethine done before i got the bike) it broke on the first bend a few inches from the front jug in a long egg shape so, its not on a flat surface or if can and clamp it

atm ive got the exhaust braced tightly to other parts of the bike with big hose clamps, i put some quicksteel on it, in 24hrs im gonna use that red muffler tape and them in gonna put a feq hose clamps around the pipe there and hope and pray it holds till i can buy new exhaust
