  • CRAP, I lost an exhaust nut!!

    Ya know what? Hittin' 60 f'n sucks! I used to have a great memory but lately I'm losin' it. First I lost an air jet and had to buy one, now I've lost one of my exhaust nuts, nowhere to be found! &*^&%!!!!! Does anybody have a spare one they'd like to trade for my wife or cash or ??? (Yah yah, I know, send pic of wife)
    Bone stock 1980 Special except for the exhaust and crashbars. Oh yeah, and the scabbard for the Winchester Defender.

      You know that a plain ol' metric hex nut will work, just put it on one of the lower inboard studs and you will never notice it. Make sure it is the correct thread pitch. Hopefully the inspectors don't notice it. Yamaha still sells the OEM ones.

              Yup, didn't ride last year, too much fishing and camping, and not enough $$$, never is. Planning on insuring next month, if all goes well... still running like a champ!

                  I put that nut in the mail this morning. It should not take long from here to there.

                    Many thanks Ras! There's an ice cold Irish Red Ale sitting here for you if you decide to ride this way! Or better yet, I have a vinyl cutter, and I can make stickers/decals in monotone. (Like the Yamaha symbol, Yamaha letters on tanks etc etc.) Need anything?
