Check those exchaust bolts once in a while... Getting hot doesn't help locktite keeping the bolts tight.. I had one bolt left after my last trip...

Good tip, it looks like your bracket is broken!

And throw some of them locking washers on the next set.

I did have those!

Good catch! I didn't notice it when replacing the bolts! Have to go and see welder! I Should use glasses more often!

I remember you said you can't see shit with your riding glasses on, so I thought I would point that out

When I put mine on, I usually tighten them as tight as I can get with the open end box wrench and then I put the chisel down and smack the wrench with the hammer, stick n stay is the only way

Use lock washers that should help some.

I've replaced a few of those myself...had to have the bracket welded a couple of times...I guess a lot of vibration finds it's way down to that junction of engine and frame.....

If he keeps losing them we will have to drill holes thru the bolt head and wire them together.

That's always a good idea....

I think your gas tank may beg to differ with you!

Whatever happened to clean and tight, I think your new saying should be lose and dirty, or lost the fkr.
