I am preparing the bike for a euro tour next month. I noticed the other day that the 3rd exhaust bracket (sitting on the bike) that holds the down pipe to the cylinder head has snapped in two! Now both sections of the bracket are held onto the bike with their bolts, and the exhaust is securely fixed by the other three down pipes. Now I am wondering, do I take the whole system off and get the bracket welded before I go, or do I leave it as it is and keep my money for my holiday? I have a full Leo Vince 4-2-1 system with a carbon fibre can, so I have no intention of replacing any of it. It will be a repair. I won't be using the bike for another week or two anyway, so no worries there. It just whether its worth the hassle or not... Oh, and I can't get a decent picture of it as a result of its location.
Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...
