Hi, Went to replace the muffler, and the bolt was rusted and snapped on the clamp. Can I go to an automotive store and buy a heavy duty clamp as a temp fix, or is this not wise ? Just sucks staring at this muffler and my bike that can't go :sour::mad:...thanks!

I don't see why not:dontknow: Sometimes temporary fixes work out to be permanent fixes.....

you should be able to find the same or similar ones. Best not use the double nut U style they will crush the pipe if over tighten...good luck..:thumbup:
