I've been using a long spanner for years and have never had my exhaust nuts loosen. You don't have to drill holes in your bike or add hardware.

I can't tell you if your exhaust nuts are good or not, but here's what I did to keep mine tight. Years ago there was some discussion about safety-wiring the old nut so that they don't loosen up. Someone chimed in that he had used small springs instead of ssafety wire, which has the advantage of easy removal (when needed) and reuseability. I gave it a try and it works great. Drill a small hole in each nut, and a small hole in a cooling fin on each cylinder in the opposite direction from which the nut must turn inorder to loosen, and then put a spring between the two. Works great. -Mike (69 ambo, 77 vert) M.Jones, associate editor, Journal for the Study of Religions and Ideologies (http://hiphi.ubbcluj.ro/JSRI/) "The heart has its reasons which reason does not know." -Blaise Pascal "With man, instinct and reason avoid each other with adversity, yet, by repudiating each other they lure each other to reach mutual correction." -Lucian Blaga ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs Your free subscription is supported by today's sponsor: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Is your computer freezing up or slowing down?
