Oil-cooled! Suzuki also benefits from stud fasteners for exhaust pipe mounting! Replacing with hand-bent titanium exhaust pipe for the Inazuma 1200.

So the timing for the work is a bit uncertain…
The stud bolts that got delayed the other day have arrived, so I’m going to secure the muffler.

Honda OEM stud bolts are abundant and great.

I’ll let you know the part numbers later.

By converting to studs, “lock nuts can be used” and “the flange won’t deform.”

With bolts,
“if you tighten loosely it comes undone,” “if you tighten it firmly the flange deforms,” and “it’s a hassle if it seizes.”

Studs are better if possible.
But at work it’s risky, so I don’t really want to do it.

Hmm? The angle is off but the tail pipe fits?

No way—what a happy accident!
If it fits, I want to join them together right away!

I’ll manipulate the scrap material to join them.

I cut out about five pieces with different thicknesses and puzzle them together to join them.

Boom! All done (*´ω｀*)

I was sloppy with the pipe fitting, so I can’t show it up close (；∀；)
I’ll make it properly next time, so it’s fine.

The rear is still NGC, but the exhaust pipe is now titanium.
Working on my own bike really is nice… I thought to myself.
