    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hate to say it, but the weight of that can is being carried too far forward on that bracket. The can will want to swing down all the time, especially with road bumps, and put hellish strain on the exhaust flanges.
Once they crack, it's a pita.
That lug on the rear rail directly above the can would be a perfect place for a bracket/strap taking all the weight of the can directly.
 
I'm pretty sure the can won't move as the attachment is welded to it, I don't think it'll be a problem. But I do see your point, which is why it was welded. If anything it'll bend the bracket I think.
 
It's done, sounds amazing, runs amazing and looks spectacular (partial i suppose).
