slip on exhaust change. how to

[youngsterbiker]

So I bought a new exhaust. Now I'm assuming it's ad simple as Un bolt remove. Place and bolt? I'm hoping this is the case as I only have a socket set and Allen keys.  :rolleyes

Pretty much. Although it's not quite as elegant as a haynes might suggest, slipping the link pipe off with ones delicate fingers. Mine involved a silver back inspired waggle session ending with an under my breath profanity (kids about) when it released...

Tiz the way of DIY mechanics - nothing will undo or come off without the profanity

Give it a stern look before attempting anything, scare it into submission.  :thumbup

Did it come with the link pipe, or do you have it already?
Aftermarket slip-ons require a link pipe!

Link pipe was included, original came slipping off quite easy, little wiggle and slip. New one too some.......abuse. seemed to be spinning the link pipe and can every direction for an hour, muttering bad things under my breath so the kids would not hear. untill finally got it right. Very pleased with the sound too, nice change from the old one

Naw, I'm only inspecting it, I'm an advisor not a mechanic, you bring your sockets that fit and I'll tell you how to use them lol I'm sure you've done a grand job :-)
I just fitted hazard switch tonight, and had to re do my dual light wire as that's connected to it, took a bit longer than I thought but all done now :-)
