Geez, I am so screwed. Today my muffler fell off at speed, breaking the ear off the muffler. That's not the big deal. The real problem is that my right exhaust stud (which I replaced with a 6mm bolt not long ago, with a healthy serving of blue Loctite) broke off about 1/2 inch down into the thread. Topping that off, the 1/2 of available thread is now stripped.
I fabbed a temporary bracket for the broken ear side of the muffler mount and I inserted a new bolt coated with JB Weld into the the stripped thread. Maybe the JB Weld, the muffler clamp (that I never used) and the clamp I fabbed, maybe I can continue riding. I need to order a muffler ASAP, but I amnot optimistic about that.
