Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Exhaust Exhaust Leak Where Silencer Clamps at Head Pipe

Any idea where to get chrome exhaust clamps that are an inch or so wide? The stock ones are 3/4" wide and leave gaps where you can feel the exhaust leak. I have stock pipes, for now, and tried tightening them but they still leak. Both sides leak but is much worse on the left side.

Loosend,

I found exactly what you are looking for. Custom Chrome has a couple of models. I got them at a Big Dog dealer.

The stock ones also leave about a 3/4" space when tightened so I was never able to get rid of the leak.

The Custom Chromes are full circle, wider and more duable.

Check their website.

You might even check your local HD dealer

What diameter clamp did you use? The America's pipes appear to be 2" in diameter but I want to be sure not to get the wrong size. You can get clamps in 1 11/16", 1 3/4", 2", etc. Some sizes are pretty close to eachother. Thanks for your time.

I beleive I got the 2" but could not swear to it.

Good Luck

I had the same leak, a little dab of hi-temp silicon sealant under the slipon took care of it.

I installed BUBs pipes and siliconed them alot so no leaks anymore. Great sound. Also, they slide further on the header pipe than the Triumphs so theres more overlap too. I re-used the original clamps as the ones with the BUBs are weak.
