mtnmason Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I heard about this dreaded affliction awhile back on another forum. I wondered if anyone here was familiar. The beautiful cocktail shakers on my 77 rotted through after 15 years dormancy in a barn. That is the only rust whatsoever on the bike. There is one hole in the bottom of each one, the left being worse. I patched that with Quicksteel and it worked to some degree. It pops and spits in quite an unbecoming way when I pull to a stop - sounds great under load. I cant bear the thought of having to replace them, but they need to go. I dont have the equipment or technical ability to cut them open and weld them back together. Has anyone used these? They're a tad pricey and not too attractive. I havent been able to find any originals in good shape for sale. Suggestions? Comparable experiences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperami Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 i have the same problem (shitty rotten exhausts) with my XS`s. no i have never used that company, but those pipes look like just what i`m looking for. i am just very wary about buying from abroad over the internet??. Motad still do a 2-1 pipes for the XS (i`m sure.... i think?? ) i dont know if that is of any help or are you trying to keep your bike completely original.
