Exhaust Hanger?
I just bought a Muzzy 4-2-1 exhaust system and was wondering what everyone does with the left rear exhaust- peg bracket? I can't just take it off because I do a lot of 2 up riding.

Buy a NOS bottle and get the bracket to hang it even if it isn't connected LOL

lol you think THATS ugly, wait till you get a look at the rear lower fairing now that the left hand exhaust is gone! Took me a couple weeks before I got a good view of it without a pipe sticking thru it, and its been buggin me ever since.
Would have just taken it off, but I do alot of 150+mph riding and I think they might have put it there for a reason.

I had my bike to the limiter in 6th with mine off when I had my qwick pipes on and it was rock solid. If it bugs you that much, you might try pulling it and give it a test ride. I bet that you find that it really doesn't make much of a difference. Or maybe I just didn't notice it because it was a pretty calm day and a straight well prepped road.

Yeah its the stability and aero affects that Im worried about. The stability of the rear *might* be affected by removing it, along with any possible benefits recieved from keeping the high pressure air partially diverted from the tire so as to minize tire lift. That kind of thing doesnt probably matter on pavement (versus salt flats) or under 190mph though.
BUT: it bugs me, and will no doubt get removed this winter when its pouring down rain outside and I'm sitting in my garage stairing at the toys with a beer in my hand...

Well, that little fairing is not there on the overseas bikes. There is a centerstand instead. I don't use it on mine..

I took my snow shovel off as well. I also picked up an exhaust hanger form Shnitz Racing. Like the look and all is good.
Cheers

That fairing was the first thing I noticed when the left pipe was gone. It bugs me too, but I really like the way that side looks without the pipe ,(except that fairing). I'm also thinking about getting the tire hugger. It gets nasty down there, but at least it's easier to clean with the pipe gone.

If you are not toting someone along for the ride, just remove the left bracket and bandsaw off the right psg peg mount. Works for me and best of all its free.
