In a pinch, you can use automotive heater hose, or small diameter rad hose. The petroleum will quickly degrade the rubber. Just an option, if you want ride and don't have the correct part.
i would rather not ride than put a temp fix on something but a good idea though
thanks.

I have had a piece of automotive heater hose on mine for just over a year. It's not as temporary as you would think. It has outlasted the OEM piece.

+1 on the heater hose, works great and about 1/10 the cost for really the same thing

Can't remember off the top of my head but easy enough to find out, just measure the diameter of the exhaust outlet tube. I remember I did have to heat mine up a bit to get it pliable to fit around, but nice thing is it's tight and doesn't leak any spooge at the joint.

Here's the nos. for you:
Stock rubber piece ID: 1 1/16"
Silencer pipe OD: 1 5/32"
Heater Hose I'm using: 1" ID
Up to 1 1/8 ID hose will work. You just may need hose clamps to keep spooge from leaking out.
The heater hose has lasted longer than the stock rubber did on my primary bike. When the stock piece fails on the spare bike, it will get the heater hose replacement.
