I thought, &#8220;This doesn&#8217;t sound right!&#8221; \u00a0The store owner walked by about the same time and he said,\u00a0&#8220;This doesn&#8217;t sound right!&#8221; I said, &#8220;No shit!&#8221; He said, \u00a0&#8220;Bring it into service and have them jump on it so we can get you out of here so you can ride.&#8221; So I did. Two hours later I was on the road again with a new set of headers on my bike. I had to pay for it since it was a weekend and aftermarket can&#8217;t be warranted on weekends, but I&#8217;ll get the money back.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0369.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11855\" src=\"https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0369.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0369.jpg 3024w, https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0369-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0369-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/the-glen-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_0369-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3024px) 100vw, 3024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It broke right at the crossover weld.
