    I just walked around my bike and noticed this:



    2 or 3 questions:

    1. Fixable? Or just replace?
    2. Expensive?
    3. Do you have to remove the f£@*&cking motor to do it?

    I would replace something like that - but alas I have no such experience.

    Replace it. No, you don't need to remove the motor or frame, just make sure it's supported. Took me a little longer to replace than I thought it should have, the insert that screws into the frame was a bit of a pita to get out.

    http://www.kutterharleyonline.com/ha...ont-l1501.02a8

    ISOLATOR KIT, FRONT - L1501.02A8 L1501.02A8 $67.00
    Subtotal $67.00
    US Priority Mail® $5.65
    Total $72.65

    Got it from KutterHD online. Make SURE to check the part number, the one above fits an 03 xb9. I'm pretty sure they're the same, but I've been known to be wrong on occasion. Either way, it's a readily available part.

    wally: not criticizing you in any way but are you using your uly to race in local supercross events? LOL
    i've never seen so many broken mounts, muffler brackets and muffler straps on one uly in my life.

    JMO but if you get it welded then don't worry about replacing it. As long as it's a good weld. You'll know if it's not a good weld because it will break lol.

    Showing BMWs what Buells are made of! :D

    Exhaust issue is sorted now - No more broken studs or straps.
    I have never replace straps when loosening them, but now I will!
    Been riding some heavy bumpy, rocky roads when going on adventure trips.

    I hope to have it all sorted now! Exhaust dude welded it up for me - not too pretty, but it will work. Will post pic shortly.

    Going to order new one, as it will take a while to get here.

    Here is the repaired one:


    But I opted to install a new one and keep it for spare.


    I think old one was trashed.
    Rubber had cracks and can see difference when holding side-by-side:
