DogBone? problems with exhaust - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

Has anyone else had problems with the support that connects the exhaust hanger to the frame? - the piece looks like a little dogbone with thru bolts on both ends. -- Mine had a bolt fall out and the inner bushing which led to the exhaust pipe cracking

- but one cheap welder from HF and it is back together. -- the bike is a 99 1100 ace.

Thanks

I know that many have removed the dog bone with out any issues.

I dont see where it does much - the hanger is hard mounted to the frame so I guess it could be removed without causing problems. -- does anyone really know what it purpose was other than to squeak and lose nuts???

Thanks

also any replies from those who have removed them would be appreciated.
