[QUOTE="SRAD97750, post: 140645, member: 425"] No band-aids until you find the root cause.:naughty: If it's "rigged beautifully," yet resting on a bolt... I'm not sure what the root cause is here. The mounting characteristics of a head pipe and muffler mounts,(Springs or wire) should not allow it to be out of alignment. Unless something else is tweaked as well. How do the springs fix this? Have any photos? They would be helpful. [SIZE=14px][FONT=Open Sans][COLOR=#0e2233] It has awesome light weight, tensile strength, and non corrosive properties. 40% lighter than steel.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE] You can weld it! If you are a professional/competent mig/tig welder already. :smirk: You should have a shop do it. Walk just the pipe in and they will charge $25+ for one little droplet weld. Worth every penny as these temporary fixes you are considering may end up costing you more time in the long run. Here's some reading for expanding our brains.
