Ok, I've not seen this pop up on here before so may be a new issue for older Gen 1 Fazer |Thous.
The exhaust collars on pots 2 and 3 on my bike are in what can only be described as shit state. Pots 1 and 4 are fine, look almost new, but the middle two are in such a bad way that harsh language would probably make them crumble away to dust. Other than that the rest of the downpipe area is fine, exup valve free of stickiness, downpipes nice and shiney etc.
But, as the collars are designed so that they just don't come off, has anyone seen, or have a solution to replacing totally goosed ones without forking out for a new set of downpipes, whole exhaust system blah blah.
I have visions of crappy exhaust sealing and that irritating ticitty ticcitty ticitty tick noise when the poor old things become too weak to do their job properly.
Suggestions/ advice please.

Its better to ask a stupid question than make a stupid mistake.
