Exhaust repair
Got my wr with it needing some love, I’ll prob be asking more advise at some point because I want to pretty her up.
This is my first attempt to repair this fmf q4. It’s not perfect but it now has 0 leaks and new packing which is what was most important to me.
I popped that dent out as much as I could and used steel stick jb weld to repair the missing material on the canister.
It was leaking bad from that area before and had almost no packing left.
The seller told me he had done that damage when he dropped it out of his truck.
I used a carbon fiber wrap which will probably last all of one ride, but I got enough to wrap it a good 3 or 4 times. I want to find a silver material to use so it looks more oem sometime in the future. Im sure there’s something I can use that’ll look better than the carbon fiber pattern. Underneath is ugly as hell with the jb weld.
I bought a pack of generic bolts and some rubber washers that seem to be holding pretty well. They screwed into the holes where I drilled out the rivets really nicely, which I was surprised about.
I wish a new silencer wasn’t 1100 freaking dollars. I got the whole bike for 2000. 08 with 5k miles.
Anyways if anyone has any advice on how I can do this better I’d love to hear it. Thanks!
