Kev,

I used high temp Permatex silcone on both my Ambos and have never had a
problem with them backing off. By the way...I have the updated locking nuts
on one bike and the originals on the other. Both stay nice and tight and
don't leak.

Regards....Ian

 Hey,

Any tips on keeping the exhaust leaking from the header pipe at the
head?

I go through gaskets more than toilet paper. I have the "locking header
nuts" and the headers are secured with the frame/header clamps. I've
tried doubling up on gaskets to no avil. A Ex. gasket will last about 2
weeks with riding 60 miles a day and checking the tightness constantly.
Usually the right one will loosen and blow first.

ANY suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks
Kev
