I have a hole in my muffler, the bracket where it attaches on the bottom snapped off and left a hole. Now it's dripping and causing a mess. Any tips on what to use to patch the hole? JB Weld possibly?

If it is dripping a lot of gunk from the hole, it is probably time to open up the silencer, clean it out and repack. I would suggest to open and clean out the silencer,, then take it to a good welder to weld a cover over the hole and reattach the mounting bracket (Take the bike and silencer to get the bracket properly located). Then repack and you are good to go.

Guys so I drill out the rivets and replace with new ones, is that right? Just a rivet tool from Lowes or HD will do the trick?

Yep that will work just fine.

A buddy of mine who races circle track turned me onto these aluminum exploding rivets which are great as well. Ebay has em with a large head in several colors. i am totally converted now.
