sanddevil111 Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 my pipes went on ok with the stock grab bar the silencers fit fine with it...shortly after i got a new grab bar and now the bolts are lining up right through the silencer and grab bar....finally i got it to line up and like 20 turns in it was still goin good and all of a sudden the head broke off the screw and now on the left silncer there is threads stuck in the subframe and it kinda pisses me off cus everything was goin goo and the screw was goin in like it should and it just broke and now my silencer and grab bar are just hangin there...point is, does anyone else have this problem and do I need pipe hangers or do i just need to go get a less thick grab bar...i know i proly sound like a dumbass because its so easy which is why it pisses me off cus i have done it so many times and it just wouldnt work on the left side...help would be appreciated...

wongs390cc Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Buy a new grab bar, and try to weld back the bolt piece on the sliencer, if not then buy new silencers. Once you've done that, then buy silencer hangers off of Toomey.com.... both my friends have CPI in-frame drag pipes and they both have hangers, it has worked perfectly. They broke off cause of the notorious rattling that CPI pipes cause on the silencers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enFORCER Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 I have bought more than 1 set of CPI pipe's.... And I must say the quality of CPI pipes is not what it use to be........ The last set I bought were out of frame drag pipe's . These pipe's were so bad I sent them back for a new set... It took 5 weeks to get a new set... The customer service at CPI SUCKS real bad!!!! I will NEVER buy from them again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05bansh Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I just got my CPI 's installed today. It went well. I went to the hardware store and bought some longer (stronger than factory) bolts for the silencer mounts. So far so good. I guess the true test will be when riding.
