There is supposed to be a bracket that comes with the Force to bolt from the Flange on the pipe to the mounting bolts that held the original bracket on.

Been a while since I had a Force but I remember having to take the old bracket off and installing the new bracket. If you can't find it, you may try to contact Force and see if they'll sell you a replacement bracket.

Go get a generic good quality exhaust hanger and bend to fit. The back of the pipe mounts to the underside of the motor.Mount it to the frame and things will be snapping off in a very short time. Love my Force pipe and no problems since cutting off the original front bracket and using a stainless band clamp in its place but mine is an early one.
