Confused replacing exhaust (with pictures :-)
Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2015 11:02 pm
Roughhouse 50...love it(!) 6k miles. complete mechanical idiot.
Exhaust rusted out so ordered from scooter works (based on their recommendation) a Prima replacement pipe. They say it should fit but I am confused.
The Prima pipe is triangular with three holes for bolts. I get where the two right holes go and the left most hole is for the fender.
However, on the existing exhaust, something is bolted to the middle. I have no idea what that thing is, or how it will be attached to the new exhaust. Am I being completely clueless? What is that black rectangular thing bolted to the inside of the current exhaust and how does it attach to the new one? Do I need to drill three holes in the new exhaust to attach that item? [this is why its a cheap and universal pipe replacement?]
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
