This evening i had my first breakdown (after 11,000 glorious miles) where i was stuck. and after reading all the old threads on loose exhaust nuts i am down 
oh, and i had all the signs. this season was the first loose exhaust nut. 2 more times carefully retightend, bent tabs back. the last time i added some anti-seize and it stayed tight and i thought i was clear. cruising down the 2 lane at 70, all of a sudden she sounds different. the last tighten i did a poor job on the lock rings and the nut rattled the port threads useless. after reading the previous post i suspect iso's because i have other symtoms. also the joint clamp on the same side has come loose on a few occasions. so.....i assume my riding is over untill head repair. my bike has a balance pipe and 21,000 miles on it. is there just one fix for threads? i have read phil at fair spares does this. any suggestions on the proper fix always appreciated. funny, thursday i was going to ride 150 miles to the airport for a flight. probably would have missed my flight. i am envious of all you multi-bike people. damn, she was running so good
