Vance And Hines Exhaust Question.

So this is the new ( Beautiful) exhaust for my Suzuki GS750.
The question is this.
If you look where the 4 into 1 joins the rear section. it slips on. There is one bracket to frame bolt hole at the back and the head bolts at the front, nothing in the middle and no clamp to spoil the lines.

How do I make a solid and still air tight join?

 

I was going to seal with that, will it be solid too, and stop flexing My only thought was put a piece of bandage in a sandwich of putty? What do you think?

 

Ive got both, when I saw your link, DD, I found this in the shed, I bought two and only used one.


It seems like a long way for an flexing joint to be unsupported and unbraced, is all
Ill try the putty first.

 

Yeah. Vance and Hines, make these like this so they must just slip together with putty, I suppose, theres no mention of clamps, and on the youtube vids they dont show extra brackets.
Its new. and very smart.

 

Im waiting for jets to fit the carbs then I need to loose fit and try it. Thing is I need to remove em before I can get it out of the shed so it doesnt scrape.

I ordered the jets, and they were marked as dispatched, then two days later, I get a email saying, EBC is closed for Easter and they cant ship em till they get em from EBC.
I am also waiting for sprocket lock washer. Spend the morning repairing a side panel.

 

Update.

Put it together, on the bike, to test, with no gasket, sealent or clamp and, no leaks no movement.
A well made part.
