How Carlisle ended for me this year:

Custom exhaust hanger failed, left the entire exhaust hanging off the heads. I noted a small exhaust leak on the way there. On the way home it was a big leak. I figured the muffler had loosened away from exchangers or something until I got home, looked, and noticed the entire muffler was swinging up and down.

The irony that all the parts needed to fix this were at Carlisle is not lost on me.

Left twist drill bit and an Irwin extractor will be here this week. Got the snapped stud in penetrating oil. Hoping it comes out easy. Cleaned up and welded the hanger back together. All goes well I should be back on the road sooner then later. Need new gaskets, and I won't buy a new stud till I get the old one back and I can examine the bore.

That really sucks... I was standing there with my son just as you rolled in to park on the grass and I could hear the exhaust sound was "off". That must have been the leak. Good luck with removing the stud. I've got a broken bolt head on the front end that has me worried.
