2005 Chopper Cracked Exhaust Bracket

[Threwithu]

My bracket cracked at the lower bolt to frame location. My question is where can I find another and can this bracket be welded and still hold?

Absolutely can weld that not a problem. Add a little gusset between the bolts too

Weld it up, buy 2 3/8" thick rubber washers from Lowes/Ace hardware and put it back together. The washers will stop the vibration and stop the cracking. If you don't believe me, just ask me...

Weld the bracket, and is that a crack in the tire there, Straight up from that weld, looks like a bad spot in the tire.

Forget the bracket and buy a frickin tire!

Secondly find a real welder, the one there looks like shit

I removed the bracket to get it welded and it looks like its a used replacement as the previous owner must of had too replace his original. Other than loose motor mounts, what could cause this complete fracture of the bracket?

Loose bolts on your exhaust, back to basics as I have learned the hard way.. these things rattle like crazy.. check all your bolts and screws often..
