There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Can-Am Hindle badge on Hindle. Do you wait for it to fall off? Is there a glue...?

It's nothing more than double sided tape. For now, it's still on. But, you can push one side down. It sticks. And, then it loosens.
I won't be drilling and riveting. Although, I guess that is a sure fire way of keeping it put.

I guess now I know what to do with my excess death grip glue.:2thumbs:

Would the pipe get too hot for high temp silicone?

As I am an agent for Dow Corning, and reading from the box of a tube of "732" RTV Silicone, the answer would be NO...
Unless you are ducting a jet turbine through there, it will cope with temps of up to 400F
$5 a tube inc tax, just come on in if you are in the neighbourhood.

Isn't that the compound (orange?) used in heat shielding the muff heater on a Jet Ranger? A turbine idles at 500c (c20b)
I'm not sure how hot the pipe gets on the spyder but I think guys have been using this compound to seal leaks on the gasketless Hindle.
I'm curious since I'm about to install my Hindle.

This is what I love about forums.
Could you recommend a sealant for the Hindle pipe?
I just got mine and I'm a little unsure about leaks etc.
Thanks,
Max

You don't need a sealant for the hindle...it will go on the pipe very, very tightly...it really fits perfectly...you won't have any leaks as the hindle fits over the pipe, not the other way around...really hard to have any gaps...don't bother, you won't need it.
Yup:agree:
Wonder why they didn't make the rest of the joints that way.

Slip joints... they provide some "wiggle" between the engine-mounted headers and the chassis-mounted muffler. The engine is rubber mounted and will flex some in its mounts. If the engine was solidly mounted to the frame, you could go without the joints.
I'm building a dual-side exhaust as we speak... and intended to use some SS flex joints. Unfortunately, there was not enough room to do that.

Thanks for the Hindle/silicone info. Or lack thereof.

No problem...don't make a simple job harder than it has to be...the hindle is one of the simplest things to install (take it from me, if i can misunderstand direction, I will!)
1. Disconnect battery
2. Take off stock pipe
3. Install Hindle (not hard to do)
4. Reconnect battery
5. Run bike for 15 minutes...DO NOT ride it, just let it idle so the computer system gets acclimated. (I actually left mine on for about 20 minutes)
6. Turn bike off...turn on...you're ready to go.
You'll see more acceleration, power, and better mileage...plus, it sounds 100x better and it shouldn't break any noise ordinance laws that are popping up everywhere...this is becoming a big issue around the country.
