Hehe, the clamps will have to do for now, since I may disassemble the
muffler portion at some point.  I "lubed the snot" (historical ref.) out
of the clamp bolts with anti-seize.  Now I'm looking for some rubber
nipples to place over them.  I banged up my hand pretty bad on the rear
wheel assy trying to get the rusted flange bolts off, and don't look
forward to it again.

I was thinking of having the tip cut off, as I'd seen a guy do on the
forums (but with a melted rear valence).  I'm not that keen on paying
extra for a new tip, since replacing muffler portion seems easy on this
system.  The muffler is connected to the rear section pipe by a clamp, and
it has a standard inlet connector.  So I could just measure and find one
with a left 2 1/4" inlet and have someone put the hangers on. :)
