Stainless exhaust clamp for Pointy front downpipe?
Hi everyone
I have a recently acquired a fully faired pointy 650S K6 and have just noticed the exhaust clamp that clamps the front downpipe to the centre section is really rusty, i havent managed to remove the fairing yet to see if there are anymore clamps in the same condition, but my 2 questions are: Is the exhaust stainless? And can i get replacement stainless clamps? Cheers |

Re: Stainless exhaust clamps
Yes, the exhaust is stainless and will polish up nicely.
I replaced some of my clamps with mikalor marine grade stainless clamps.

Re: Stainless exhaust clamps
+1 for "Mikalor", the items I've used from them have been very decent quality. "Norma" is another very good make of clip.
Search fleabay, loads of suppliers. (edit - beat me to it)

Re: Stainless exhaust clamps
some are not the same as others so beware SS ones. the ones you want are the ones with SS bolts.

Re: Stainless exhaust clamp for Pointy front downpipe?
Which ones do you need?
The one where the header joins the collector box under the engine & the one which clamps the header pipe to the rear exhaust stub pipe?
