well, it's bodged back together (don't look pretty). I've not stress tested the exhaust with a ride because it's been too wet.
I need the exhaust fixed ASAP. Just toying with which garage to take it to. My local (all makes all models bike garage who will probably do an ok job) or the Faversham bike shop who I'm sure will do a pukka job, but at a Yamaha dealer price.
I don't have welding equipment and I certainly don't trust myself to dril the bolts out.
Bottom line, I just want it fixed so I can ride the bike, but I don't have loads of funds, I need a new back tyre, but can't afford both, wish I hadn't touched the focing exhaust to be honest.
It needs to be good soon because we have the Brands Hatch ride skills day at the end of june and I need the exhaust fixed and rear tyre fitted and scrubbed in for this event.
Is there ANYONE who can lend a hand who has experience of welding or drilling out bolts?
