Blue flame exhausts

[neilninja]

I bought some cans from the above for my sp1 having had a can off them 10 years ago for my kawasaki 636 which I was rather impressed with.
I bought some more from them a few months ago and when we were fitting them we noticed they came without a bracket that the original cans never had.I thought that was wierd but anyway fitted them then also realised that the stand doesn't flip up all the way any more.It goes about 75% of the way it used to and now sits right up against the exhaust vibrating against it. (HOW LONG BEFORE I HAVE A HOLE IN MY EXHAUST ?)

One of the bicycle style clips broke as it was being tightened and now you can't tighten it any more , tis broken , making the whole exhaust and downpipe very loose and shoddy I'm not happy as you may be able to tell.

IF IT WAS A £10 ITEM THEN YOU EXPECT THIS BUT WE HAND OVER MULTIPLE HUNDREDS , SOMETIMES THOUSANDS OF OUR BLOODY HARD EARNED CASH , MOTORBIKES AREN'T EXACTLY A CHEAP HOBBY ARE THEY , BLUE FLAME HAVE GONE FROM DE BEERS TO RATNERS IN MY OPINION AND I'M JUST DOING THIS TO WARN OTHERS TO BE CAREFUL AND CHECK WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY BUYING TO AVOID BEING MUGGED OFF LIKE MYSELF , RANT OVER.

Now, I've never had anything from blueflame and wouldn't be able to rate them as good or bad.

What it looks like to me though is your clip broke because it was rusty as hell! And you may have been sent the wrong exhaust, wrong model year?

Have you tried contacting them and saying "the exhaust you sent doesn't seem to fit my bike properly and there's a bracket missing" or instead did you put the exhaust on and leave it for months before deciding your own bodge job wasn't any good?

The build quality of the blue flame I have seems reasonably good but in my case the bracket itself is shite. It won't tighten any further and it leaves the exhaust pretty much moving about loose inside the "strap". I guess left long enough, all this moving about will break the seal further down the exhaust.

However, I can't rate yay or nay, because this could be either Blue Flames fault *or* the previous owner for doing a shite fitment job.

Get that pipe slit more with a cutting disc, and fit a new bracket and tighten it up. Then for the bolt hole, just buy one of those universal exhaust clamps with a rubber surround.
