1150GS Exhaust query

[JohnnyBoxer]

Guys,
Tonight I have refitted my road legal Titanium Sebring exhaust to my new 2002 GS, keeping the collector box and Cat.
Same as on my 2000 model 1150GS.However the new bike has a different bracketing system (with a rubber mounted spacer) to the subframe.Therefore I have had to mess about with washers and shorter bolt etc to get it to fit and also it now has a clamp at the collector box (attached to chrome guard) .This was a pig to fit over the new can and I've had to dispense with the Sebring's clamp.
Any ideas for rubber washers/spacers to isolate exhaust bracket from subframe to reduce any potential vibes, somebody mentioned washers @ B&Q etc.
Any tips would be appreciated.

John,

Don't know what they're called, but when fitting my Remus I used one of those rubber mountings that has a bolt coming out of each end.

Larger versions are often used when mounting car exhausts. Try a specialist engineering suppliers rather than your local DIY store.

They're called cotton reels and I've sorted it with fibre washers.

How did it hold up, Steve..............with the cotton reel?

Still working?... the bike must be vintage by now
