stock 9 muffler, one of the things I want to have on hand.

Question - are any of the straps or mounting hardware considered single use items? What else should I get to go with it?

Thanks!

It says front strap is one time use, but I have reused with success.

All straps are one time use, as is the clamp. But I've certainly had mine off and on numerous times without problem.

I've reused the front strap, often with not problem. I've also had it break while riding, which was quite an inconvenience, and could have been dangerous.

I don't worry about reusing the other straps, and haven't had a problem as a result.

Someone on BW (I think) posted this place as a source https://www.deepblueyachtsupply.com/70stbc1000-t-b olt-band-clamps

Confirm the size, though, I just guessed at 10 inches.

Edit, this seems to be the mfr http://catalog.buckalgonquin.com/viewitems/t-bolt-clamps/stainless-steel-t-bolt-band-clamps

I got the Deep Blue clamps. They held up fine. They are slightly less beefy than the stock clamps, slightly thinner in a few places. But again, they have held up fine.

I have this PN: 70STBC750, from the above site, listed as rear clamp size.

The muffler on my bike has been off/on at least a dozen times over the last 10 years.
I have not replaced the front strap or Torca clamp.
I don't think HD replaced them either when they did the side stand recall...

NOTE: torque spec for the straps is in inch-pound [in*lbf]
Don't ask me how I know...
