    Friend of mine has a Fazer and has the same problem. He took them off to try and weld them but the metal is so bad it can't be welded. He was advised to get stainless steel ones.

    You'll be wasting your time with exhaust putty or bandage ,get a pro whos used to welding exhausts to weld it for you it'll probably cost double what a bandage will cost but it will be a hundred times better

    I can strongly recommend him, he is a wizard with bike exhausts, he repairs and even makes new ones at very realistic prices. He is also a member of www.globalmotorbikes.com

Bike has never sounded so good,purring through the Supertrapp can:D Now i know ye will say it wont last,but im pretty confident that i did a pretty good job.Time will tell. Cheers again for replies
