As the title states, im looking for the little bushing that is pressed into the exhaust hanger. I have started another thread about rebuilding mine and everything is done except for that bushing. I have the Race exhaust. Does anyone know where i can find one? | ||

I've never heard of them being available without buying the complete hanger. I've seen a thread on here before where someone made them by pouring urethane into a mold. I have not been in need of one; however, I've thought that maybe (without having measured) one of those bushing from skateboard trucks might work. Drill out center to size, a steel or brass sleeve in the center. I have also wondered about those bushing used in 4-wheel drive front end parts. Surely there is something out there the right size. | ||

Which hanger? I imagine old style. American Sport Bike used to sell a replacement bushing more dense & durable than the original. Short of running that down, the newer Y hanger is superior & available for about $120. DAve | ||

I machined an aluminum bushing ten years ago for my S2 and it is still there with no movement.So far it has been good for 60,000 miles. I cannot understand why they would put a rubber bushing there in the first place after all the pipes are bolted solid to the heads and the rear muffler mount so why not make this mount solid also? | ||

No there NOT !!!!!!!!  Rubber isolates engine and exhaust from the rider = less Vibes. (Message edited by ebutch on August 23, 2016) (Message edited by ebutch on August 24, 2016) | ||

I know I have at least one brand new set. They came in a swingarm recall kit I bought off eBay. I have no need for them, but must get home before I can do anything about them... 1313 | ||

Whatever you find that will fit, you have to remember that the material has to absorb the energy not store and release it. I made that mistake when mine fell apart a good number of years ago. It was rubber and it fit but it stored and released the energy like a perfect spring. Muffler shook like crazy and stressed the rest of the exhaust components. Just get the Y hanger thing. It's better in every way. | ||

I did this upgrade recently, new Y hanger kit and new bracket for the race header from twinmotorcycles.nl . Both are stronger than the original. (Message edited by x1bully on August 31, 2016) | ||
