    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.

This came out of my exhaust pipe...

So I took the exhaust pipes off today to replace all the gaskets at the heads as well at the cross-over underneath. So while I'm picking up the right side exhaust, I notice something moving around inside. It would fall whenever I turned the pipe, so I spun it around until I could work it to the cross over head and eventually out of the pipe. Below is what was in there, they look like they were originally part of the pipe, but have broken loose over the years, but I'm not sure whether I have to worry about anything going wrong because of it..

Thanks for any thoughts you have on the matter.
 
I had similar pieces fall out of the rust holes in my bike a couple of months ago. I used some muffler putty to seal around the holes, then put patches over the holes. It's a little bit louder, but still runs fine.

In fact, because of the difference in the muffling on the two sides, there seems to be a bit of "chatter" to the exhaust, making it sound a bit like the old CB750K or KZ900 four-pipers. :D
