I NEED HELP

[dltang]

My dealer tightened the rivets on mine, and no more problems. I believe this was an early hindle pipe issue. .

That would have worked if it was just the rivets, but the shield broke right off, not at the rivets but at the bracket itself onto the pipe. Trust me, I have always preferred my Hindle, both the sound and the look. I am riding right now with the Hindle without the heat shield. If I decide to replace it, it probably won't be with another Hindle though. I have ridden with this one for 3 years and have enjoyed it. We will just have to wait and see.

I haven't heard of that happening...yikes! It seems for most that the rivets come lose...these can be replaced with 'better' rivets...some have replaced with bolts...regardless, I like the hindle as it goes well with the bike and it has the Can-Am label on it...should we ever have an issue with aftermarket pipes due to excessive noise, best to have the bike label on your pipe, IMHO...
