my back box practically hits the spring aswell, got about 1cm gap, the centre silencer has a cut up exhaust rubber wedge between the heat shield and the silencer

My magnex back box has always seemed to knock off the side of the axle not the top so i just used a thick cable tie and pull it over and up and that seemed to work for me.

Iv never wrapped pices of bike tyre or any other piece of rubber around my axle :lol:

Weld a bracket on it then ;)

Just use smaller exhaust rubbers on the centre section and rear box, cant believe people are actually attaching things to the rear axle...

What a bodge!!

Bit of old carpet :cool:

what centre did you get like Haimsey?
il need a new de-cat aswell as it was doctored to fit the centre

I used to do this, but eventually figured it wasn't realllllly doing it any good and so for the sake of 30 quid I just got a new section fitted with a much bigger arc in it.

used an old timing belt, wrapped round and jubilee clipped at each end. spot on :lol:

cheers for the help though :thumbs:

Old car tyre or bike tyre rubber, plenty thickness there

I had the shop start the bend earlier to get a bigger arc up and over the axle as high as possible

it used to have a flat piece of rubber about 2" by 4" but its fell off:(

dunno were id find some. was thinking cut a pedal bike tyres up maybe?? unless anyones got any other ideas.

ive already got a cut up hanger on between the centre silencer and heat shield as its a weird shaped centre lol

I used cable ties on the exhaust hanger and body mount/hanger. Put them on (one each side), raise the exhaust backbox with your hand and tighten the cable ties. I've got loads of clearance, no knocking (unless passengers,fuel,luggage). I didn't bother with rubber on the axle.

I cable tied exhaust rubber hangers to the axle, can't seem the make them stay still in place though :/

as above, to those who dont have much clearance for the exhaust on the axle, what have you done/what rubber have you used to protect as i know thats the normal idea.
i had a thick bit of rubber cable tied to the axle and with driving a long journey yesterday with a full tank and all the luggage its fell off somewhere iv got it knocking.
any help :thumbs:
