does the prima pipe require any extra mounting hardware?

Post by skully93 »

Some months ago, thanks to a poster here, I scored a pipe very cheap. Well, now that we have the scoot to put it on in hand, I forgot to ask if there was any extra hardware needed to mount it, or if it's just bolt-on.

Thanks!

Yeah skully, a spacer for each mounting bolt and they are slightly different lengths. If you didn't get them with the pipe, you can pick up something that'll work at a local big box hardware store.
Maybe someone has an unistalled pipe and can send along the dimensions of those spacers for ya. If not, I can try and get some measurements with mine installed. I'll also check my paperwork when I get home and see it it lists the lengths.

That'd be lovely, thanks.

It's no hurry, Angela just got her buddy from another poster here, but eventually I'd like to put it on, along with the sliders. sliders make it ohh so nice!

Right now she's just getting used to riding that isn't in a parking lot or closed course. A bit slow off the line, but we'll get there.

I tried to get some measurements on those spacers but there's no way to get in there when they're installed.
Give Scooterworks a call and see if they can either send you some spacers or at least take a measurement for you.

I just tossed a Prima in the recycle bin-dreaded crack on the weld. Tossed the spacers in the overflow nut n bolt bin two weeks ago. Now mixed in with other exhaust spacers from past projects. Have no idea what goes to what in that bin. Scooterworks shoukd be able to point you in the right direction.

I carried mine in to a local Econ-Lube place and they had a guy who did some welding. He took it as a side job and had it done by the end of the day (on a Saturday!). Charged me 40 bucks which was a little steep for quick welding job but was cheaper than a new pipe. Just a thought if you still have access to it.
