Exhaust repairs
I have spotted a crack right next to one of the welds on the trike's exhaust so it needs attending to. Can anyone give me a local name and tel No. ? Many thanks.

I think all the horrible springs and stuff are there for a reason, i.e. to dampen the vibration from the motor and preventing the exhaust from fracturing. I know the ball joint is supposed to be greased regularly with the Copper stuff to keep it flexible but I don't know many people who actually bother. IMHO

Morpheus,
Thanks for the latest comments, vibration is a real bugger on these machines so a "solid" one piece exhaust would take strain.
When we dismantled the exhaust before sending it in for powder coating, I noticed a lot of gunk on the ball joint. I will remember to smear some copper slip on it when we re-assemble. I'll use the same springs again and then loop either safety wire or thin cable thru the springs so they can't go overboard if they happen to get loose.
