There are three bolts holding the muffler to the frame. Rubber grommets around these allow some vibration I think ( the bike is at the shop so I am using memory).

Each costs $20 CAD and all of mine are kaput.

Has anyone found a cheaper solution than buying OEM replacements?

Mine were gone when I got the bike. I've used a single solid mount bracket since i've had the bike.

yes you are right.

I pretty sure you will have to buy oem. Thats what I did. Mine were kaput too!

Morie- do tou feel a lot of vibration? Do you have 3 solid bracket on the pipe?

Are you talking about the pipe or the muffler? The muffler has two mounting holes that are supposed to have rubber gromments with a bracket thru each. Both are gone on my bike. The end one I replaced with a metal solid bracket. The pipe has three mounting tabs. All of the rubber dampers were busted on my bike, I had drilled them out at one time so they could be solid mounted. I replaced them with new rubber dampers and they reduced the amount of vibration and noise by quite a large amount.

I am talking about the pipe not the silencer.

thanks.

I think kanuck talk about the pipe too?!

I worried about solid mounting them.

I think it's the muffler that has three rubber mounts. But in any case that's what I was talking about after looking at the microfiche.

I am going to order one new mount and then see what I can create using rubber for the other two.

If it's the silencer:

I made my own. Take the thing to your local hardware store along with the fasteners and fix it!!

I used a split (grooved) grommet sort of thing..a ferrule of the correct diameter to fit the existing hardware..done!

If it's the pipe? Good luck! OEM, I think. Yeah.,.they are expensive. If they don't fit too good, you probably need to tweak your pipe for a better alignment. That's a lot simpler (to bend the pipe) and harder (to get it to FIT right) than you might think.
