the front most exhaust clamp on the pointy (just south of the oil view window) its rusted through on my K7 and I need a replacement as I've been riding without for a few days and the rain this morning loosened the seal between header and the next pipe.

Anyway I just need to know the size of the clamp so I can phone and check the garage have one in, the bloke I go to doesnt like books so if you want to order a part you need to know what you're ordering.

Dia size what ever you know if you can tell me Ill be your friend forever.

Always nice to know it's not going to rot though, regardless of whether you can see it or not

I'd get a stainless as i had to replace mine for the same reason. Got a suzuki one again and with what seemed like 5mins its rusted through again.

i dont mind it rusting though again, i ride daily so im more keen on just getting one on it right now as its begun blowing.
TBF the one im getting may be stainless, i dont know. I doubt it'll be a suzuki standard one, the garage its been picked up from have a race team so I doubt they'd be using factory crap.

could have worded that better;
They're a race team, and its their garage which Im picking it up from.
