Hello everyone. Just a small question. I noticed my furthest right exhaust pipe was a bit noisy when I last had my bike running. I took a look and noticed one of the nuts were gone and the other was loose and about to fall off! My question is where can I get one of these nuts? I'm sure you guys know what I'm talking about it's the nut that screws on to the post that keeps the pipes in. The nuts have a island screw fitting. Thanks

Ace Hardware/motorcycle parts would be a good place to look. They've got a good selection of metric nuts and bolts. I think that's an 8mm X 1.25, but I wouldn't swear to it. Doesn't have to be allen head - a regular nut will work.I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

Thanks I was worried this was a "special" part.

The 9 Ace hardwares around me don't have a very good selection of metric stainless. I found that this farm store called "Big R" actually has a pretty good assortment. So that may possibly include the chain stores "Rural King" and "Tractor Supply." Just throwing it out there.Josh Yoquelet -- I'm having dreams of my XS

Don't bother with SS. The heat causes some sort of reaction and they look like crap in no time at all.'81 XS1100 SH

The newer Chevy small block motor uses the 8mm stud and nuts! Just get a bronze exhaust nut for a chevy, and your good to go!Ray Matteis
