    V&h 4:1

    Does it come with a clamp for header to Megaphone connection or is one not needed?

    Been checking through my Yosemite shots but I don't have anything close enough to be 100% sure.

    If it does need a clamp & doesn't come with one what are my options?

    Thanks,

    Dan

    Doesn't come with a clamp and doesn't need one. Just get it aligned up and fitting tight to the header then figure out a bracket that will mount to the rear foot peg bolt and you're done. Sometimes easier said than done, especially that bracket part but it's not too bad. I used a piece of flat steel I bought from your local HW store and then bent it to the shape I needed it with a 3lb sledge and an anvil. Drilled the holes to the size I needed, rounded the ends and painted it black. "ouila", bracket made.

    Good luck.

      Mine did not come with a clamp. No obvious leaks.

        New out of the box, they don't come with a clamp and you don't need one. The mounting bracket is welded to the muffler at the factory. The only other part that comes with it is a stop for the centerstand.

              Thanks fellers.:-D I got lucky when I found this one.
              Within the next few weeks, she'll be sportin a set of K & N pods, a fresh rack of carbs that were completely gone over, cleaned, re o-ringed, and rejetted by none other than our own chef1366(Bill). I also have a new set of intake boots to put on when I stick the carbs back on.
              I still have to do a valve adjustment and get a carb tune tool and some other misc stuff that I'm going to replace before the season starts.
              She should be good to go by no later than mid April.

                Ok thanks. I didn't get anything for the centrestand... what does that look like?

                I'll be having a go at fitting soon I think, they forgot the gaskets, once they get here I'll give it a go.

                    It's just a piece of bent metal with a bolt hole in one end and a half round cut into the other end that the leg of the centerstand fits into and that keeps the centerstand from going up the whole way and hitting the muffler. It would be easy to make one. I'm going to shorten mine up a hair so that it lets the centerstand comes up a little bit farther without touching the muffler.

                      Ah, I can handle that if necessary. Maybe I don't need it on my bike. Thanks for the heads up.
