Hi everybody, finally putting the finishing touches to the Rappy - mostly putting right what the previous owner broke
Seems like he crashed it and decided to fit random parts, in fitting them he broke perfectly good bits to bodge on the 3rd party bits
The last bits I need are exhaust fittings, I ordered them from oemmotor site and after a 7 week wait it seems that they can't provide everything I need as they are discontinued
This page shows what I need:
http://www.oemmotorparts.com/oem5.asp?M ... A-RAP-1_BU
Item 1 - exhaust clamp (2 required)
Item 13 - rubber damper (2 required)
Item 17 - spacer (1 required)
My question is - can anyone help me source 3rd party bits that will fit on please? I have tried hard to get the OEM bits as they fit right on and return the bike to original but this time I cannot get them
The exhaust clamps need to be hex headed so I can pull them up tight enough, the OEM ones have a 22mm band and are labelled 48-51 which is the diameter I think.
The rubber dampers need to be heat resistant I guess for the exhaust temperature and are 20mm long. They need to be "waisted" so they are 22mm-ish at the outside but only about 16mm in the middle. They have a 12mm hole through.
The spacer is a 12mm long "slug" with a 9mm hole through and a 20mm flange at one end.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction, thanks as always for your suggestions! Bfef.

Clamp = 'Mikalor' stainless steel, available on ebay, gear4bikes, mandp, demontweakes or your fave hardware supplier.
Can't remember which supplier I used but the clamps are top

Re: Please help sourcing exhaust mounting parts
I replaced the rubber dampers on mine over winter as they had disintegrated
I was going to make some out of other dampers but then found out that Rob at Mito Mondo could get em - took a week or so and I remember thinking they weren't a bad price

Unfortunately Rob from Mito Mondo never returned my e-mails.
Does anyone think these might fit?

Exactly the shape I want but no idea about the size!
Edited to add: Here's a better picture showing the exploded diagram where it fits:

Re: Please help sourcing exhaust mounting parts
It may be worth asking a Yamaha dealer for the dimensions.
If they think there's a chance of a sale they should find out for you.

I know Rob can be busy and takes him a while to get back to you, think I phoned him so dunno what hes like for emails, sorry.
Those Yamaha ones do look similar but not the same as they look too short - but then could be wrong as I have slept many many times since then, let us know what you find out - have you got the dimensions of the old one?
