    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.

In this photo, how would add the flange brackets or whatever you call them to the two middle pipes? The outer still has one. Seems that since these are missing the only salvagable parts are the muffler and left, outside header?
 
I would have thought they would be two peice flanges that would be held together by the bolts. I know that's what i have on my current 4 cyl bike (rf900) and my past 4 cyl (gpx750r / zx750f1) on all 4 pots.
 
The flanges on the middle pipes are slightly different, but one piece, and fit over the pipe.
Then you have 2 collets that go around the pipe, which the flange pushes against when you bolt it up.
So you need 2 flanges (often called clamps or collars), and 4 collets to fix the centre header to the bike.

I was just taking off my stock exhaust today (GS1000EN) and snapped some photos of the flanges for you, for visual reference to Stefnwolf's comment:
