Exhaust Security Bolts

[xXBADGERXx]

There has been a spate of can thefts around here recently and I have been doing a search on Exhaust Security bolts . I spotted these things all over the place years ago and now don`t see them anywhere . They used to be a flush or slightly domed head with 3 holes in them and you got a "bit" to tighten it up with , any ideas anyone ?

[DarrenSV650S]

Spot weld it round the back :)

[maviczap]

Think you can get them at Busters or M&P, bth the same company

[kwak zzr]

yea MOTRAX do them.

[xXBADGERXx]

Just checked Motrax site and nothing there , seems they have stopped making them

[kwak zzr]

i dont think they ever sold well

this is true:-D

[xXBADGERXx]

Checked both sites and didn`t find them under the Exhaust drop down or the Security one . Even did a search on "Motrax" and "Exhaust" and got some appalling random selection of ****e , this is why I don`t order from them

Funny you should mention spot welding. I have a K8 which I will be cutting soon for a Street Extreme. ATM it has a guard on it near the end can, no worries I thought, I will just unscrew it...... not,.The clever people at Suzuki have spot welded the sodding allen bolts.

So, whats the best way to get the guard off. Am I going to have to cut it off with an angle grinder/saw ???

:) Found exactly the same with mine the other weekend Tony!

I just used a junior hacksaw to cut the weld...5mins max whilst it was on the paddock stand.

Then another 5 mins with a bigger hacksaw to get the stock can off.

REMEMBER TO CUT THE STOCK CAN AT LEAST 55MM FROM THE WELD - or you'll go through the catalyst!

i have a old m&p catologe in work, and im sure they are in there for about a fiver, but cant see owt on website, so maybe they dont stock them any more

Well this is the thing , I don`t think anyone makes them anymore so they are becoming a bit of a bugger to find . 2 mates have told me they had cans nicked off their bikes out of spite over Xmas . The thieves came around and couldn`t get the bike so they undid the springs on the can and undid the bolt on the Exhaust and had it away with the can .

[DarrenSV650S]

had it away with the can .
Filthy buggers

im not surprised, as it would only take 2-3 mins to nick a can

my mate had his front bumper nicked off his feista rs ...... in asdas car park at 1pm?

they facked the 2 wings up ripping it off

[petevtwin650]

We had one on our curvy. Not for theft reasons, but so if we got pulled for a noisy can, as if???, the cops couldn't take the can off as "evidence".

Anyho, after mucho searching I've found it and the relevant socket adaptor. 45mm long and I believe an 8mm.

Any use Bodger?

[xXBADGERXx]

Just the ticket :D

[DarrenSV650S]

A pair of pliers or grips would get that off:confused:

[petevtwin650]

Pm your addy. If you coherent enough that is, and I'll pop them in the post tomoz.

[xXBADGERXx]

Any determined thief yes , this is just to stop an opportunist or as Pete said "being removed for evidence"

You have PM Pete and your a star , fair swap for the piccy I suppose ? LOL

[petevtwin650]

Nah, you owe me a tenner....................
























:p:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

[xXBADGERXx]

Ya ******* ya made me laugh and hurt mah ribbies

[yorkie_chris]

Just crash and scuff the can up a bit, noone will want to nick it then. Worked for me so far....

[petevtwin650]

People are frightened it might be contagious YC. :reaper:

Bodger, the bolt is in the post. Sent it recorded, so you'll have to get up out of your comfy chair and go answer the door.:twisted:

[Lozzo]

Save your money, all the thieves do when confronted with a security bolt is unbolt the footrest hanger from the frame.

[xXBADGERXx]

Not costing me a penny as Pete has donated one to me , and it`s just a deterrant to the less clued up tea leaves , anybody Savvy enough will have anything away from my bike if they wanted to

[xXBADGERXx]

Bolt arrived today Pete , thanks :D , really appreciate that and owe you a few Beers . Will put my mind at ease , and if anything , it`s just a damn site better looking than the Rusting Hex head I have on display :D

[Lissa]

it`s just a damn site better looking than the Rusting Hex head I have on display :D

I'm not so sure you should be displaying your rusting hex head in public:shock:



Glad it's arrived ok:D

[xXBADGERXx]

That`s the reason why it oxidised , doesn`t hurt when I pee though so that`s a good sign :D

[hovis]

had a look in the old busters mag

sv650 £4.99

worth trying them as they may have some in stock?

These ones are useless, all you need is two small allen keys or nails and a spanner to remove. Also as Lozzo said, a clever thief will simply remove the can hanger instead.

[yorkie_chris]

Weld it on :-P
