    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Mr. rebeldart, dont start another thread on the same topic. People cant follow your V&Hs saga ;).

Where do you live ? Throw one side in a snow bank (its -10 here) and warm the other side in a oven. Worth a try....
 
Bonanza - it's really two issues, even tho' it's all part of the friggin' header install. I'm in Florida - sunny, high sixties, t-shirt. You hate me, I know ..... snow is quite a drive from here, and can't fit the header side in the freezer !
 
A muffler shop could expand that for you. Dont know what that would do to the chrome :-k.

Yes, I hate you ;).
 
Bracket is no problem - just like to have more than 1/4" slipped in ......
 
Rebel, it might still help to explain more of what you were looking for in case someone hadn't read your previous thread. Good luck with it though.
 
I agree with you rebeldart, the tube needs to be inserted more than 1/4" both for safety and to lessen the chance of an exhaust leak. The header isn't going to need to be opened up much, probably less than 1/16 inch. Take both pieces to a muffler shop and they can swage the opening up by any amount you need with a hydraulic tool that will save your chrome and make it fit like a glove.
If the pipe is for your model and year bike, I would be asking the manufacturer what happened.
 
I meant to post the two pics in under the same topic but accidentally started a separate topic ............ anyway, did a search of the site and came across a few posts regarding the same issue. Looks like I'll be visiting the muffler shop Monday. Thanks all.
