That's pretty tidy, I thought you were talking about a wrap around type of strap. What do you have it attached to on the back side?

J6G1Z:
The backside of the muffler has a "channel" welded to it, that a nut & bolt slide up & down through. Somewhat like the chain locks that some folks have on their doors. The head of the bolt fits through a hole on one end & then slides up & down the channel to allow you to line everything up. The strap is simply strap steel (that was chromed) & just has a hole on each end for a bolt. I'd try to make one out of aluminum strap & maybe drill a few holes down the length of it. You just have to make sure that the holes all line up & are the same distance apart. Here is a chance to fabricate something custom.

Good luck

I fabricated a brace from some 1/16" aluminum, and pop-riveted it to my muffler.

That's a real clean looking mounting bracket! 8)

Good job.

It's been quite a while since I last touched base here- Here's what I've done; I am using the OE bracket & channel with the 2 studs( I cut the channel off with a grinder and welded it to the Supertrapp) and the center stand stand off with the rubber footie the center stand rests on when up.
My welding is atrocious, so this weekend I'm dropping it off to a realwelder to get everything done right.
The fitting was a little hairy, I had to enlarge the bottom holes on the hanger bracket & (temporarily)washer out the top of the hanger which required a longer bolt- I believe I have a spacer at work that is close to what I need.
Let's see if these photos wor
