DIY: Exhaust Hanger (no welding)
I decided to make my own exhaust hanger so I could get rid of my pass pegs. It dosnt look the best but it only came out to $5! First I would just like to say I havn't had this long so Im not sure its bullet proof if you can afford it I would just buy Zartans. Anyway here are the things you will need.
1. Flat punched zinc plated metal brace which I bought at Home Depot for about $5. (size states 1-3/8" x 36") 2. Good Hacksaw 3.Original bolts and pegs (and paint if you want to paint it). First you will need to remove your orignal pass pegs which has all ready been covered by Kelly in another DIY. I measured the pieces I wanted to cut but I didnt write down the measurements but all you have to do is using the hacksaw cut one strip with 10 holes and one strip with 11 holes. simple Loosely bolt the bracket with 11 holes on the thread towards the front of the bike. You will also need to put 1 or 2 washers behind the bracket to bring it foward a little. I will discuss it later. Next loosely bolt the bracket with 10 holes on the other side with washers. Now this is the slightly tricky part. As you can see the brackets are flat and do not bend foward to the exhaust like most hanger do. Get your right pass peg (exhaust side) and pull out the bushings in side the bolt hole. we will use these as spacers. Now the last holes of the bracket should line up. Place your long exhaust bolt through your clamp then place the bushing in between the clamp and bracket and loosely tighten. I used one original bushing (black) and the one that came with my exhaust (silver). The purpose is to keep the brackets and exhaust from being pulled together since the brackets are flat. Once you have test fit it and tweaked it where it will fit just paint and your done. I used hi temp flat black. Finished! Look mine has circles like Zartans! Sorry for the blurry pics. Im not sure if this will work with the stock exhaust but the holes lined up very close the original but my exhaust bracket is movable. Like i said not the best but seems to hold fine so far and it was only 5 bucks. Last futzed with by Shift250R; August 17th, 2009 at 10:36 PM. |

Nice job man, it actually looks pretty decent when painted..
Did you use the same paint, to do the heat shield?? |

WOW that looks great after it is painted, at first I thought that there is probably a lot nicer things you could have used, but that looks great once done.
The only thing I would have done differently was to cut them a little bit longer (extra 1/8" or at the bottom of the hole that is being cut off) and round the metal off so there is no sharp corners. Once again, awesome mod, gonna have to do that to mine when I get it back

Thanks guys but ya I used the same paint for my heat shield and that has lasted months with no fading or chips. I thought about cutting the corners and then grinding the edges but I got to carried away with how it was coming together and I forgot. Ill probably do it later.

looks good black! nice.. i eliminated my rear foot peg bracket completely and just mounted the exhaust hanger off one of the rear set bolts then off the exhaust clamp were the slip on meets the head pipe, you look at my bike it doesnt even look like anything is supporting my exhaust.

It already has support there (the pipe). You need to support it farther back to lower the force on the pipe and your mount. It really isn't doing the same amount of stabilization and protection as the original mount.

well my pipe isnt stock.. its a area p with dan moto slip on .. so the original support doesnt work. so this bracket is the only support for the exhaust, trust me it works. would definitely work on stock exhaust with aftermarket slipon.. my exhaust doesnt move and ive had it installed for about 1k miles with no issues

Nice work. I made one using barstock steel and I drilled it and bent it just like the ones you can buy. I then finally made one out of aluminum doing the same thing. Works great and I only needed one hanger.

it looks like it was built using knex pieces. Not horrible when painted but not my cup of tea. As a metal fabricator I would have to make some extreme mount if i decided to make a new one but for now ive just got the rear pegs taken off.

I did it!
Okay, This literally took me 30 minutes to cut/file/paint and install on the bike. Nothing better than saving 90% on a motorcycle part.

Just wanted to make sure it would fit. Now I am going to paint the screws, nuts, and washers flat Black. Should be just fine. This will hold me over until I get a Two Bros. Exhaust
