Hi guys,

I was cleaning the inner tips of my CFR's tonight and I noticed that the right pipe wiggles. The left pipe stays in place.

I took off the bag to take a look but the two bolts holding the pipe to the saddlebag support are tight. It's the rubber inside that bracket that's allowing the pipe to wiggle by hand.

Has anybody else noticed this or is it just me?

 

No problems here wit mine!!!!

 

Are the rubber edges broken or cracked? These are supposed to stay in the mounts in order to absorb some vibration. Also, many owners have complained of broken bag support mounts. I am sure you've checked that already.

 

Then replace the rubber since it's apparently worn.

 

common problem. replace them.

 

rubber issue not muffler issue

 

On my 01 UC, had an awful squeal. Turns out it was the right side rubber mount allowing a slight metal to metal rub. Hours of troubleshooting for a $2 part.

 

I'd check you saddlebag mounts to be safe. They do break. That rubber bushing will alos wear out. Cheap part to replace.

 

Sorry, I should have mentioned that the bike is only a week old so the rubber is not worn nor are the saddlebag mounts broken.

The pipe moves if wiggled by hand. Any other suggestions?

 

well, a little movement is normal. Take a pic and lets see what's going on.
