CB500/550 / Silencer preservation suggestions

« on: April 22, 2012, 09:06:15 PM »

A hole about 10mm x 5mm has just appeared on the underside of my OEM honda silencer caused i presume water sitting internally near the front weld seam which seem to be a low point in the silencer, when i started it the other day i notice a fair bit of water under the silencer, on having a closer look i could see water spraying out of a pin pricked sized hole, stuck my nail on it a before i knew it had a 10x15mm hole. obviously i want to try a stop things from getting worse as the rest of the pipe is really nice so any suggestions as to how i can do this and repair the hole
cheers
