Stock exhaust rear hanger holes not lining up with mounting holes on the frame

[No H2O]

The bike had aftermarket pipes when I bought it but the stock exhaust was included.
Yesterday was my first attempt and putting on the stock exhaust.
Found that the pipes match up to the cylinders but the rear support holes don't line up.

The holes in the hanger on the exhaust pipes are too far forward and that's with the hanger adjusted all the way to the back.

I'd even settle for one hole but the rearmost hole on the exhaust hanger is still almost an inch away from the forwardmost hole on the frame.

I'm assuming that's not actually the stock exhaust and I need to order a hanger from Super Trapp that will make that exhaust fit my year/make/model bike?

Hey Mark...did you try flipping the hanger on the pipes over? Im thinking it is on backwards.

After looking at it more, that idea is not going to work...you could make an extension pretty easy

If your trying to put those on an 04 Ridgeback then that is likely the issue. That setup is for 05 and newer.
If I'm not mistaken the 04 Ridge was still using the 2 into one Supertrapp

This is correct Kaptin. Those are wrong for that year Ridge. They were equipped with the Kerker 2/1.

Although if you flip it you might be able to make new holes that will line up!

If you've got access to someone who welds, have them make one. Paint it black to match the bike and your done.

how about fabbing a flat piece of steel and drilling 4 holes...two bolts onto the bracket and two bolt to the frame.

Super Trapp confirmed that's not the stock exhaust.
Easy for me to pick up a flat bar at Home Depot, measure, cut, drill, paint, and then install.
I'd have to get a couple sleeves as well to match the offset on the existing bracket.
By that time it may be easier to buy one if Derek/Donna have one for sale.

Before I do anything I need to bolt up the exhaust and support the back end temporarily while I see what it sounds like. If I don't like the sound better then I'll stick with what's already on there.

you could just bend the flat stock to take up any offset...just offering up an inexpensive option (cheaper than buying an exhaust). everything will be hidden behind the mufflers so it's not a major eye sore anyhow.

the flat stock can be bent or angled to take up any offset...everything will be hidden behind the mufflers anyhow. cheaper alternative than buying a new exhaust.
