FMF flange/springs?
- Thread starter xjma
- Start date
as for the springs.. dont bother buying them online.. go to menards, flet farm, home depo.. or a hardware store.. i bought springs for my lrd from fleet farm for like under 2 bucks for 2 springs.. works great
I cut my stock pipe at the flange and grind ed it and drilled a hole in the flange for the spring and made it fit until fmf sent me my flange it was like $30 shipped from fmf with a ton of stickers if you ask for them, the spring just go to a hard ware store but first measure what spring you need.I got my pipe on ebay with out the flange and wanted to feel what that pipe had to offer

Welcome to the site daler , I heard that a Pro Circuit Flange Will Work From a Pro circuit Platinum Pipe , But You Might Want To Ask Around first to Be Sure !
we actually made our own flange, 2in pipe?? welded to a flat piece of steel with 2in hole in middle then just drilled bolt holes
Triplecrown, do you have any pictures of that one we made up?
Not hard to make one.
Flat piece of steel, about 3/16" or 4mm thick will do, just big enough to cover the hole and the flange studs. Drill it for flange studs and the exhaust hole. We used a hole saw for the big hole and it will come out larger than the saw actually is. Bend up opposing corners and drill small holes for the springs to mount.
Find a piece of pipe or tube just the right size to fit on the header (split and weld it if it needs some fine tuning) and weld it to the plate.
Voila! Header flange in less than an hour...

hey guys, thank u so much for the warm welcome and replies...bike has been a gradual mod project and a new exhaust will certainly help...i hope!! will try a fabricate one while im on the hunt for one...i appreciate all your help and i will keep u posted...please do the same on the off chance something comes up!
Just want to inform future fmf customers to be wary....called from Ireland to America to order a new exhaust flange and for a world famous brand/company...they wont even ship outside of the US?!?! that is not the way to operate a business...i want to give them money for a product the supply but they wont sell it to me?...weirdos....the guy palmed me off to other websites and could not understand my catch 22 situation.....how can i get a new flange when u wont post it internationally and America is the only place they exist?? a rant i know...but huge rep to the guy (rusty) at motosport.com....an actual human that underdtood my situation and is in the processing of trying to sort me one...just thot i wud share my frustration and and see if anyone also dealt with fmf douch bags
I can relate to your plight, coming from the other side of the pond, it is just about impossible to get support from many companies.
On the lighter side, this is good reason for a DMC Alien, they fit up like a stock pipe, no need for a flange, and as a bonus they dont drop spooge.

If youre willing to pay for the item shipped to me, and then pay for me to ship it to you, Id be willing to do something like that for you.
