March 28, 20233 yr Took muffler off during my inspection on the new to me bike and the o rings were hard broken junk. I’m trying to wrap my head around how the new ones will go on. Do they go on the Ti header first, then slide the muffler on, hoping they go into their prospective grooves? Seems optimistic at best…..
March 28, 20233 yr Yep. They go into the two grooves in the silencer then slide the header in. Don't tighten the bolts fully in header or silencer until it is all fully assembled. Edited March 28, 20233 yr by gazzaecowarrior
March 28, 20233 yr Author How do they not roll out of their groove when sliding assy together? Lube? Mahalo, Skiddy

They sit proud enough for the o-rings to act as seals yet sit deep enough to not be pushed into the silencer by the header pipe advancing inwards.
April 3, 20233 yr Author Mahalo….. O-rings ordered. Though I did fab a seal using a custom cut section of fiberglass header wrap….perfect thickness and pretty easy to install. Braaap. Skiddy
