exhaust leak - new slip on's. - 09Fatboy - 08-07-2009
lastnight i put some aftermaket slip on pipes on , the right hand side mated easily but the left hand side holes didnt line up so i drilled the flange out a couple of mm to fit the little bolts , however on tightening the bolts there is a hairline gap between the pipe and flange , i filed it , hammered it , over tighned it to buggery but it will not go flush and pull tight .
When you put your hand near it she leaks air.
how do i fix it without replacing the flange pipe part of the exhaust?
btw i used the old gaskets from the old pipes , do new gaskets crush as you tighen to form a perfect seal .

Yes, new gaskets crush a little.
Probably the answer I think.

yeah when ever doing that kinda stuff always replace the gaskets as busgo said

Yep, they always recomend replacing the gaskets when you change the cans.
Do not ask me who they are though

thanks for replies. The exhaust gaskets costs $8.90 each + not in stock. I ended up applying sealant to the old gaskets and face of the flange.
For some reason the right hand side can sags hanging of the footpeg brackets , new bushes needed i think.
It's reminding me of why you should not buy old bikes , lol.
