Have you ever noticed it's almost always the right side front mounting screw that breaks or the nut spins? I have three sets of stock pea shooters and this happened to two of the right ones when I tried to remove the brackets. I'm thinking that the right side must run much hotter than the left due to two vs. one cylinder. I never understood why they didn't make the exhaust header like the old Tridents, you know, a true three into two. Would look better and I'm sure it would balance out the cylinders better. The reason I searched for this thread is because I wanted to mess around with drilling out the baffles on the rattiest set but needed to fix the mount problem first. Anyone have any experience with the baffle mod? My son says the bike is too quiet!
