I just bought a used updated exhaust hanger for my 96S1. The thing has two bushings and no instructions. Is the inner bushing for the bracket near the collector on 2" exhaust pipes? I would appreciate some guidance on this before I get started. |

Pm sent. Lafayette sent me the recall information sheet from Buell with all the instructions for the new mounting bracket. I can forward it to you. |

The instructions for the 'Y' mount recall/upgrade are in the knowledge vault: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/B032-263579.pdf |

Thank you!!!! The instructions do not mention the slotted bracket on the 2" exhaust pipe near the collector that mounts to the old bracket. Is this part ignored? |

I would say yes, ignore the slotted bracket on the 2" exhaust pipe near the collector. The new Y bracket takes the place of that bracket. The slotted bracket is the one that everyone has issues with. If I am wrong I am sure someone more knowledgeable will step in and say something. |

I left the small bracket on mine as well with the updated Y bracket. |

I appreciate the opinions. That bracket broke off and being stainless my welder told me that heat cycles tend to make stainless brittle. Later in thinking about what he said, I began to wonder if he was suggesting that this might have been the last time. |
