Major problem fitting exhausts.

(1/3) > >>

So - feeling quite depressed now. I couldnt seem to make the new exhaust system for the K6 line up with the rear mounting point once the end was in the cylinder head.  Have just checked the part numbers and two of the pipes supplied have different part numbers to the K6 drawing / parts list (the two without the decal that screws on). Checking part numbers the system I have is for a pre-K6 model. But the question is - is a K6 exhaust system different in terms of dimensions to a pre-K6 version. Or should the exhaust systems be interchangeable?  The photo shows the part numbers I have.

Also, the main supporting bolt at the rear is too large a diameter to fit through the rear footrest brackets. However I bought the footrest brackets new from the K6 page of CMSNL - so this is all getting very strange.

Hopefully I'm doing something stupid. That wouldn't be the first time. But has anyone got any ideas?

Nurse Julie:
All the 341 exhaust systems are for a K2-K6 and if you can't get the foot rest bolt into the foot rest hanger, it may be where you have had the frame powder coated and the hole is too small.
No. 2 pipe, goes inside of the side stand and all should fit.
Edit..... Maybe you have been supplied the incorrect brackets as the K6 brackets have been no longer available for a long time now, did they have 341 middle part number🤔🤔🤔

Thanks for the quick answer. I've attached a photo of the problem.  Believe me there is no way the rear mounting point is going to line up. I started this project about 10 years ago and memory is fading now. But I do remember getting a new cylinder head (and having it blasted and painted) as fins were broken on the original. Now I'm wondering if I ended up with a cylinder head from a K7? Could that be the problem? If it is - it's out with the engine again and I'll be looking for a new cylinder head.

Regarding the rear footpeg - I can just drill that out to the larger diameter to fit the supporting bolt so a relatively easy fix. But a new cylinder head! Damn!!!

That exhaust is the wrong side of the sidestand

Yep, feed it in from underneath and pull back into position.
