It looks like a nice neat job to me, and I bet it will last much longer than the original. Ed

Nice thought out repair, looks tits! "Form follows function" as they say but not too many manufacturers think that way sadly. Funny how the service rep said they weld things a certain way for a repair but they won't repair yours?

What kind of clamp should this be? I sure didn't get one with mine.

Im not sure they came with a clamp....as the header came with the bike when I purchased it. I know that Kerker comes with a band clamp for like joint.

see Kerker clamp below.....

They don't come with a clamp if you look their not slotted
to use a clamp.

Like was said I had to beat mine apart when I
was making mine fit. I think if the joint was
loose enough to slip a little they wouldn't crack.
