Title: Termi High Mount Bracket Broke Post by: Paegelow on March 12, 2012, 06:51:07 PM I was just messing around with my mufflers trying to get them lined up better (they're always crooked one way or another no matter what I do so I don't know why I still try!), and I found that the right side bracket had completely broke!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/BiggieTheSpaceman/2012-03-12_21-04-11_455.jpg) Has this happened to anyone before? Are there any sources for replacement brackets? I'm searching online but haven't found anything so far. I guess I'll try calling the dealer tomorrow!

You may have to make a replacement. If you do that, IMO it'd be prudent to come up with a better mount. Termi took advantage of the threaded fittings for the seat lock with that design. Trouble is, those mounts were sized for holding the seat lock, not half of the exhaust. It's a janky setup at best.

They should have just made one bracket that goes all the way across! Anyway, I called the dealer yesterday, and the part isn't available from Ducati. So I brought it to work today and asked our welding guy if it's fixable, and he said probably! I'll check back with him tomorrow and see if he was able to get it fixed. |
