    I made up something similar.
    I used a s/s clamp 25mm strap for steam pipes and a mig welder.

    You can make a P clip like that in your sleep, I made 4 for headlight mounts on my ZX6 and one for the zorst
    Just wrap a wee bit of alloy 'round the subframe, crimp it with vice clamps to get the "P" shape and drill a hole, do the same on the zorst Cost ya f-all

    Trust me, my exhaust sounds don't need any help... it's the rider that could do with some work though!

    Thanks for the tip, I've got heaps of ideas to try out now, if plans A or B don't work. Much appreciated everyone!

    I'll let you know how *we* get on over the weekend!

    And by letting you know how she gets on over the weekend, she means letting you know how *I* get on over the weekend.
    A P clip, otherwise known as an Adel clamp. I knew what I wanted but never had the name for it and loved the blank looks from the people I was trying to describe it to! Argh!

    Cheers people.
