Exhaust Hanger Options

[GasGasDreamer]

Hi,
I have a 2006 EC300 and I need both expansion pipe mounts/hangers.
I know there is an interchange for the top/rear one.

My question is;
Are there any other options aside from the stock hangers?

Im cheap [broke] and the oem stuff gets destroyed too easily.

I search but didnt see this answer

Thanks

If your are referring to the rubber isolator(bolts between frame & pipe)? Maybe a KX 250. I just ran out to the shop(pipe is off of my '95). They appear to be the same length(using the guess & by golly method). I'm ride prepping the 03, so I'll see about popping one off the 01, for comparison.

Yes, I am asking about the two hangers.
The front one is round and near the bottom of the pipe and it attaches to the frame.
The back one has two plates and is up by the gas tank.
They are designed to isolate the vibration from the pipe to the frame.
The issue is that the rubber isolator part is weak rubber.
It seems they rip, tear, break after not that much abuse.
The problem is that when the pipe gets banged up it stress the rubber

Are these what you're asking about?

Anyway, one is off a 1995 KX 250(note green smudge). The other...My 2001 XC 250. They are the same part(numbers on the rubber match). I'll have a look about the other, but frames are nearly identical, so is a safe bet, they will be too.

Anyhow, mystery solved on the rear one. I checked all 4 bikes(03 EC, 01 XC, 95 KX, 98 KX), they are the same. With one exception...3 of the 4 have been replaced w/homeade jobs. I remembered when I looked...I sliced off knobs from an old tire drilled a hole, and bolted between pipe and frame. Noone can see them, so ugly is Ok. I guess minor trimming would help. I figured what ain't broke, I ain't fixin'

throw the back one away. Front one is Honda CR.

I think Yamaha will work as well.
