well i cant ride my bike the motad bracket that fits to the silencer and foot plate has snapped the bolt has worn the hole out and the hole has broke right thru.
i have emailed motad and 2 days ago and no reply so i wont be buying any more of there sh@te
i doubt it would be worth trying to undo the bolts on the motad exhaust anyway they will probably just break.
so i am off to buy a new exhaust.

just bought this might get a exhaust strap and keep the old motad just incase www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281330716781?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649it should be here tomorrow i got a reply from motad to call there sales team to order the bracket but to be honest i got the bike last year and no idea how old the exhaust has been on the bike looks over a decade lol and the chances of those bolts snapping in the exhaust when trying to remove the bracket are 99% and 1% they even move. that would just be my luck

Hi Ian i have the details of the exhaust here fab no 48989 i did try and remove the bracket but sadly the bolts that hold the bracket turn but don't come out they just turn and turn. thanks for replying not as old as I thought- "only" 14 years old! all the current production is now made in stainless with a 10 year warranty and very good chance of lasting twice that we also use stainless bolts to avoid the grief that you had with plated bolts seizing after 10 years or so sorry your original email got lost /misrouted- we are VERY aware that with all the cheap Chinese stuff out there we need to try very hard to look after our customers and that includes fast response on emails at all times
