Repairing Carbonfibre exhaust hanger...ideas please

[Cornish]

Hi guys and girls.

I'm thinking of buying a 2nd hand Taylormade Exhaust for the CBR1000RR and a lovely chap off another forum has one for sale yet it has got some damage to where it fits on to the rear-set and secures to the bike.

From the picture below the securing hole has been snapped, so i was wondering what ideas any of you had for getting it repaired? Its going to be hidden by bolts ultimately, so i was thinking maybe:-
- drill and rivet on a plate with a hole in it to secure the bolt through
- bond one to it to use
- get it repaired professionally

So what's your views? Clearly I'm spending a lot on the system so wish to keep costs to a minimum....:-)

Need to go back to him tomorrow so get typing...

Thanks in advance, Cornish

Oops. Sorry here you go

If you can't see it when fitted, i would drill and rivet it.

I'm sure i've read those Taylormade exhausts sap power though. Perhaps Blade knows more.

Thanks Duke63 for the advice That's what I was thinking.

Yeah I've heard that they sap the power yet willing to potentially try it.

I know its just cosmetic but I'd want to repair it as best as I could
Would something like this work ?
Its hightemp, it bonds and I'm guessing it could be smoothed when applying
