Wertzy Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) Just got these the other day. I was told they are FMF Gnarly pipes. They say Gold Series on the pipes. Same thing? Anyways, I go to mount them up, and ran into a small problem. The rear mount for the silencers is a little...off. I'm pretty sure I didn't put them on the wrong sides. LOL The bottom mount lines up perfectly. There is also the concern that the silencers don't completely connect into the head pipes. I have collars on them and tightened but smoke still comes out where they connect. :: Edited February 7, 2007 by Wertzy Quote
kaotik1 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 Looks like your sub-frame is bent up a little bit. Quote
Wertzy Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Posted February 7, 2007 Looks like your sub-frame is bent up a little bit. I'm pretty sure it isn't. I bought this bike brand new last year and have not wrecked it. Quote
bansheeryder_69 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 usually there is like a 1-2" rubber spacing plate on there and it closes most of the gap.......just rig up some sort os a washer/spacer set-up :biggrin: Quote

I'm not going to worry about it right now. I put it away for the rest of the winter. I need it to get back into the double digits before I even ATTEMPT to jet this damn thing. Thanks man. Quote
okbeast Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 It's hard to tell from the pic and whether or not the silencer is twisted but it almost looks like it is on backwards. Seems like the top mounting plate on the silencer is "slid" to one side of the silencer some. Quote

fastbanshee8 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 There is an aluminum spacer two rubber mounts, and a flat washer or two, that is used to mount each silencer. You may be able to get them in a kit, from FMF, but I've never saw the silencer mounting kit sold seperately anywhere. And your silencer is either on the wrong side, or you need to switch the silencer bodies from one side, to the other. The side of the silencer with the mounting tab, goes closest to the frame. Quote
okbeast Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 Yep, looks like the one for the left side. Good so what I said made sense to someone, cuz it didn't really to me Quote
Wertzy Posted February 7, 2007 Author Report Posted February 7, 2007 I tried putting them on opposite sides and that did not work. So you're saying I have to switch the "bodies" of the silencers? I guess the person that had these before me put them back together wrong. LOL :shoothead: Quote

Snopczynski Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 So its too far out? My old fmf gold series pipes had about a 3/4" aluminum spacer with a bushing that went in between the silencer tab and the mount on the frame. Quote
bigboybanshee Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 I agree about the silencer being on the wrong side...when you do get back to messing with it, just unbolt the silencer from the stinger and swap em :beer: I've got those same silencers on mine, no spacers. Quote
