Correct way to mount original HM 323 exhausts on a CB500

<< < (2/2)

Trigger:
The correct way is as oddjob explained but, if someone had fitted them both to the outside before they may have tweeked them to fit that way. The problem of using second hand mounting brackets.

deltarider:
Exactly. My brackets are Original however. I can't recall if I made the mistake myself when I mounted my (2nd) set many years ago or that I have copied the way I found the old (1st) set mounted and that would imply the mistake was made by the PO or his mechanic.

deltarider:
I'll manage with the brackets I have now. When removed in the future, I could bend them somewhat on a bench or buy new. I've seen they're available.

Bryanj:
The new ones that are about are repros

s7paul:
I bought the repro items, and needed to do quite a lot of tweaking to get the pipes to sit right and the interconnecting rubber to align properly.
