- July 05, 2012, 10:40:06 AMIs 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.Posted by La Douche
