In need desperately - Two brothers exhaust part

RedNinja21 · September 29th, 2011, 08:26 AM

While changing my stock air filter to K&N this morning and noticed I was missing half the bracket for my Two Brothers S/O. The part where the canister and the pipe meets, the black bracket.

I must have not screw it tight enough when I was installed the exhaust, which explains the backfiring I've been experiencing.

I checked Two Brothers' website, they only sell the whole package, not parts. I checked ebay, no luck. Can anyone point me to the right direction where I can find this part? I don't think the exhaust will fall out but it's not a good idea to ride it the way it is now. I need this desperately, please help.

BTW, the K&N air filter wouldn't budge when it's 1/2" sticking out. I put a little bit more grease and try to force it in, but it just won't go in. Anybody has this problem?

You have to put the air filter in tapered side first with the lip facing the engine and you gotta force it in there. As far as the exhaust maybe check out motorcyclesuperstore.com they sell exhaust hangers and brackets. Maybe not a TBR one but something should work

Thanks OG. I'll check the filter again when I get home tonight.

As for the bracket, I wonder if I can just put a clamp on it.

I believe it's called "X-Lite Retaining Ring", found the pic on Two Brothers' website.

Sorry Alex, I'll keep that in mind.

Okay guys, I called up Two Brothers and purchased the parts I need.

Me: "The rings comes with the screws, right?"
Salesperson: "No it doesn't, do you need it?"
Me: "Well yes of course, I can't install it without the screws."

Total includes the ring (2 pieces), screws, taxes & shipping = $38.88. I expected to pay more especially ordering from the manufacturer. But, at least I have a peace of mind now. Can't wait to put it on and start riding again.

If anybody looking for Two Brothers parts, you'd have to call them. They don't sell on their website.

good glad you got it handled

Yeah man, I was freaking out this morning. Because I have been looking forward to riding today. I was all geared up and ready to go, then I had to take my cage.

It'll probably take at least 4-5 days to be delivered cause they're out in CA. Damn Cali, they get everything better than the East Coast.

CA is rad
