Motad Nexus Fitting issues

[stukeith]

Are these a pain to fit? with the old and new engine I am having a night mare. If the down pipes are joined to the silencer I cannot get them to line up in the engine. cylinder 1 sits about 5mm above the exhaust outlet. If I fit all the headers on, then the silencer and collector are about a cm out of alignment on 1 & 2. Is there meant to be a bracket to fit to the rear hanger or dose it just bolt on the inside?

If I fit outside then the rear brake fowls the can.

Not fitted one myself, but I believe so. Assemble everything loosely to allow max jiggle room.

yes proper P,I,T,A like martin says fit everything loose, once its sort of together tighten everyting gradually jigglying, and wobblying till it all goes nice and tight

Thanks, glad it's not just me then, was worried that something might have been bent.

I'm not kidding when I say that I almost blubbed when trying to get the downpipes to mate up with the main unit. I also wrecked the paint on the frame tubes next to the exhaust ports. I detested every second of the job but it worked fine when it all lined up! I even fitted the "L" bracket that acts as a stop for the centre-stand.

I think it was the trauma of fitting a replacement exhaust on the old Divvy that made the new Divvy's stubby little "hidden" exhaust so attractive to me .

Grum.

Cool, nice looking, Its just the angles, and the clamps seem too thick. when I put new gaskets in, there was not enough thread to grip. I had to replace two studs.
I did manage to get it on the old one, and have plenty of battle scars to prove lol!
