Hacksaws for exhausts
Hi
I'm going to install my new can today - obviously the link pipe needs hacking off - what type of hacksaws would you recommend, and how long does it take? :) Also, for the stock exhaust mount bolt - does the toolkit come with the right spanner to take it off - as i need to do that (bike isn't here ATM so I can't check) Cheers Martin |
A normal hacksaw works well, but can be a bit clumsy, so a junior hacksaw can be handy.
You just need to use a metal type blade. Toolkit should have what you need. |
I found it took ages with a hacksaw! If you've got access to an angle grinder with a reasonably fine metal cutting disc it does a great job with much less blood, sweat and tears! And in about a tenth of the time :D

Re: Hacksaws for exhausts
Before you start cutting the pipe off, tape some cardboard or similar to your swing arm, on the right side towards the front. When I was cutting off my exhaust, I would occasionally push the hack saw too far and make a small scratch on the swing arm, which lies behind the cut off point for most slip-on pipes.
You can barely seem them, but if I could do it again... :roll: |
I used a dremel :D worked really well

Hey,
Remove the whole system and save your bike... :? It takes nothing to take the stock system off. 5 bolts and some manipulation on the headers. Also, hack saw worked fine for me. Buy a new blade and it took a minute or two. Went through easy and straight. Mitch |
A new blade on a full size hacksaw takes minutes in my experience [one pipe!]

i used a grinder :D
