Gasket from header pipe to rear pipes?

[671M900]

Just poking around the parts fiche for the 2000 M900 Dark, which is close to my 99 M900, just FI, instead of carbed. I have some CF high mount pipes for my exhaust, but do I need part # 711.1.090.1A? It looks like a flanged type bush that goes in between the rear pipes and the cross pipes.. All it says is exhaust bush in the parts diagram. Is this necessary? How are the pipes held in place? Just by pressure, or a clamp? Is there anyway around this bush if it is needed? Every auto parts store has the muffler repair tape/sealer/putty for holes in the exhaust,  any reason why I can't use that for the s pipe to header joint.

Rear pipes as in the connecting s-pipes that run from the stock headers to the cans? Or something else? If it's the former, you don't need what ever that is, that I know of. Should just a be a slip fit, or slip with clamp depending on how that maker for the highmounts did 'em

Yes, the joint where the S pipes connect to the stock header. I have no clamps, but then again, I did get the bike in a bunch of boxes, haha. Maybe a trip down to the auto parts store for some exhaust clamps is what I need. Right now they look like the s pipes just fit into the sleeve of the header.

There should be a small Al crush ring in between the pipes and the head. Then the large steel piece that clamps them down.

Pipes and the head? Or pipes and the header? I have the exhaust gaskets at the head already.

My M900 just slips into the crossover pipe with no clamps.

Granted, I have low pipes, but I never noticed any bushing when switching from stock to DP cans.

If things are loose and sloppy you can expand the S pipe to tighten the fit.

sorry. I wasn't paying attention.  I meant what I said, but now realize how irrelevant it is to the question
