This was Garbanzo doing a masterful job repairing his muffler.

Smokin job there don't you think?!:angryfire: I'm not sure what else to say that we haven't already said. You just can't put a price on these kind of memories.

How the hell did you get a hole that size in your pipe? Didn't the tape melt into a big miss. I would have used the quick set JB weld and 'glued' the tin can to the muffler.

Looks like quite the repair job!

No kidding, how did you do that? Looks like a Power Bomb header.

I put a severe dent in it while crashing. I decided to have a local muffler guy pull the dent. He ended up pulling out the missing piece.:cry1: He then patched it and welded a piece of half tubing to shield it. It didn't last.:angryfire: The metal is too thin to weld on the Power Bomb, so I went ahead and replaced it. You can't put a price on the laughs we had in the back of my truck in the O'Reilly's parking lot!!!!:lol8:

I doubled up the tin can, and we have yet to identify where it ended up!! Melted I suppose.:facepalm: Ill pull my muffler and spark arrester to make sure it's not present. Slap the new one on and keep the bike upright!!:2thumbs:

Yeah, I guess. I decided to cover my aging side plates, but every damn sticker I have is Orange. K&N-orange, FMF-orange, Header cover-Orange. I guess I can't fight it. I just gotta put em on old Blue and hope she doesn't take offense to it.:angryfire: Maybe she'll run better, who knows.
