Damaged exhaust port repair

[Yellowpan]

Hi!
Is there any other way to fix an damage exhaust port other then welding?

Hi Yellowpan,

Maybe you could describe the damage that you are trying to fix. Or, better yet, post some pics - we love pictures.

Hi again!
Ok I'l try to explain- the ports are there but they are thin If you understand what i mean, this means that the exhaust pipes not will "fit" properly to the ports, the pipes fit loosely.
Sorry for my "bad English"

cut strips 5/8(15mm) wide from a pop/beer can and wrap your port till the build up just lets it slip on, antisieze in the pipe end will let you get a tight build up. did this for a long time and it works, then make sure your clamps stay tight
and lock the pipes to a second mount to hold it all real steady,
fab work for this....

Hi!
Thank you Mr Mbskeam for your answer. I have thought of that Idea with some stips from a can, but I don't know how they will stay in place wile i'm building the "missing size" up? It would take more then one strip to "fill up the gap".
Yes- an second mount to the pipe will hold the pipe real steady,but were to place the second mount, any Idea or picture would be nice

Take care

the second mount is from the frame to the pipe...its a double clamp. Look in your parts book. And if all your effort fails go to http://www.headhog.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for a nice exhaust port repair.

The rear pipe doesn't have a secondary clamp setup just use plenty of high temp glue...ie devcon.

Hi!
Couldn't find the clamp(s) in my book, but i found one type of clamps in the W-Twin catalog, front pipe to frame clamp(65512-37A) and 65513-58(frame clamp) I guess that this is the type of clamps you mean.
I have never seen this 2 piece clamp set on any bike, but now I'm going to buy an set.
Take care.
