2017 RC390 exhaust hanger mounting points options

[rc390cr]

Hey guys,

As the title states, I'm looking for your opinions and inputs in terms of if there are any other mounting points or supports that can be used for the exhaust hanger?

I'm looking to take off my bike the pillion foot pegs... but I don't want to use those same bolts to put the hanger... Aftermarket hangers all use those same holes to mount them, but I want to see that area completely clear and was wondering if anybody has any idea of any other more "descrete" point I can stick the hanger to?

Thanks in advance for your ideas and inputs!!

Regards,

Luis

I made a single hangar out of some 1/8th aluminum plate about an inch wide.

Fitted it to the shape of the factory muffler bracket, shaped it with a slight "S" shape and drilled 1 hole on top and 2 holes on the bottom.

Found 6 matching black bolts to fit all the holes.

Painted it back and put a subtle Brembo sticker on it.

It weighs in at an ounce or so and the two brackets I took off were two pounds.

Got about 100km on it with zero problems

Do you hace pics of that setup?

Ditch the pillion pegs and use the mounts there. Is it a high or low-level pipe?

That's precisely what I don't want to do... For instance, you could get the R&G hanger (pic below), but I don't want to use the pillion pegs mounts...



That's why I'm asking if somebody has any other suggestion or idea?

mine is similar to that RG one, but only one piece. Its 2 holes on the stock muffler bracket. Been great for a week or so

I saw a guy on YouTube who drilled into his heel plate on the rearset to connect a bracket.

 

[John390]

hmm, that works too. I didn't want to make any changes to the actual bike. mine is done so it can be put back with no issues whatsoever.

This one is very clean tho

Hey guys,

I created my own hanger, but I don't know if the mounting point of it will have any negative impact on my exhaust.. it's basically a piece of metal using the same bolt the axle slider uses...

Check it out and let me know your thoughts...

The rear wheel and swingarm is supposed to move independently from the exhaust.

What negative effects would this setup bring to my exhaust? Should I then go back to the footrest bracket?

You can't attach the exhaust to the swingarm. Once the swingarm moves it will bend the exhaust. You'll have to come up with a different solution. Use the footrest bracket until you do.

Damn... I was so happy with the visual result.. I don't want to see anything hanging... any suggestion?

I agree, I don't want anything there either, but mounting it to the swing arm is not going to work.

Besides a thin single mount like mine, the only thing I can see working is that other one posted where it goes to the heel part of the rearset.

That or delete the muffler and just put a short curved pipe off the stock resonator. It won't weigh anything so the vband clamp will hold it securely enough I'd say. Probably way too loud. Thats why I haven't done that. I may do the short bracket to the heel part however. One hole won't kill me

Guys,

Went to this website: https://mnnthbx.com

They have a pic of an RC390 on their website with exactly what I'm looking for, but I don't think they sell it..

Any idea where can I get that? Take a look at the pic...

I can't quite make out what its attached to, but I am interested for sure

Husky use a mount off the rear set for the exhaust mount on the 401s. I doubt it will fit the KTM as the foot pegs are different but it should be possible to copy the idea.

 

[rc390cr]

Since I was unable to find an aftermarket part, I decided to build it myself...

Maybe not a piece of art, but it think it looks good and does the job...

What do you guys think?

 

[Falkon45]

Well, that looks good. Great job!
