Staintune Stays Put - CB4ME_imp - 12-14-2013
Have anyone Staintune owners remove their exhaust? I had to pull mine to install some new shocks, but it took over 40 minutes to get that sucker off. Funny thing. Once I finally got it off there was zero sign of corrosion on the exhaust or collector.
I didn’t think it would be that tough. Anyone have a similar experiences or have any suggestions? I used small hammer to hit a wood block held against the center-stand stop, lots of WD-40 in the slots, and brute strength to twist it free and back it out.
That Staintune exhaust wanted to stay put!

And it's hard to put it back on. I bent the "tabs" out a bit with a set of channel locks pliers and also used lots of WD-40. Still had to tap her on with a rubber mallet...

I banged on the end of the exhaust with my fist to get it back in place. But it's on along with a K&N air filter and a set of IKON shocks.
Too bad the bike is snowed in. We have a good 6" of hard pack snow on the ground and it's snowing.
Florida is looking pretty good about now.

Nice upgrades CB, Curious as to how she'll ride with those shocks. I think that Honda should have given us a nice set of reservoir units stock, especially when you see them on a bike like the Star Bolt.....
