Hey everyone! I was wondering from those of you who have replaced them, what are you using for your exhaust mount isolators on the rear. I found that this part is not made anymore. There is a little bit of play back there and think its could be contributing to why the front exhaust mount (shoe) keeps snapping.
I have followed Buellistic's exhaust installation instructions and it works trouble free for a while, but I think this is the last piece that should be addressed.

Thanks!

I think American Sport Bike still sells the rubber dingies for the "Z" bracket.

Also I seem to recall that hey have replacement old style front hanger rubber dingies.

Should have rubber isolators with steel sleeves in them, if not that's why your having problems with your exhaust.

I do have the rubber isolators with the metal bushings. I just think that mine are wearing out. I would expect a much stiffer fit. Mine allow about 1/16" play.
I did see them on American Sport Bike's site, but it says its not made anymore. I looking to see if anyone has found another supplier. I measured mine, and they are 7/8" diameter by 7/8" wide. Maybe its time to start searching the Granger website ; )

I'm in Australia, & a year ago i went to a Harley dealer & ordered them with some other parts & they got them, might be old stock they still have? i have had no problems at all with my exhaust mounts. i have Y mount at front & what your describing at the rear . i ride the bike all year round. it has a lot of miles up.

thank you all for your replies. I think that I'll stop by the stealership first before I try to fit something.
