Anyone know what size the stainless rivets are for the Buell Proseries muffler? Having a heck of a time finding them...

Contacted Al at American Sportbike yesterday. Great guy. Actually went to the shelf, took out a rivet from the kit, measured it and gave me the specs (3/8" flange, stainless steel, open end rivet, with 3/16" body and 1/8" reach). Bought them at a local faster shop and installed them. Back in business. BTW, Stainless Steel "medium" wool sounds great.

The American Sport Bike packing kit sounds fine also...and it may last longer.
