ok I'm confused. I going to be installing an FMF Fatty and it doesn't have a mounting flange on it. Are they supposed to come with one or am I supposed to buy that somewhere? Does the pipe just slip on? I'm freakin lost. I looked up the instructions on FMFracing but everything was pretty generic. I have an 1986.

Any help? I'm sure lot's of you guys have used this pipe on your Lt's.

 

Hey man, i had an 86 LT250R with a FMF FAtty, just use the old bracket off the original pipe and the new one slips on the flange, good luck.

 

Thanks! I was hoping it was going to be something like that. Is the flange on the stock pipe hard to get off? Is there a trick or something?

 

yeah they can be a pain to get off. good luck try not to ding it up as u want a tight fit on new pipe.

 

To get it off? their should be 3 studs holding it into the block, take the 3 out, then the flange should come out, then put the flange in the new pipe, then put it all back on at one time, its easier.

 

Looks like I got issues than, it looks like the flange is welded to the stock pipe. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

Your pipe should have come with a flange that bolts to the engine, the pipe slides into it and is held with springs. So yeah you got issues.

 

mine came with flange and pipe so id do some calling around. btw i was thinking it was stuck on the pipe not welded lol. and for 1986fatty yeah get it offf (flange off the pipe lol)

 

I emailed FMF about the spring flange. We'll see if I get a response. Anyone have any ideas on where I might get one?

 

he's right on the 85-86 LT250R's the flange is welded to the pipe... it wasn't until 87 that they made it a seperate peice.

2StrokeSmoke, let me know if you can find one.... i may have an extra somewhere or you can check ebay.
