    My exhaust pipes are leaking something that looks like water. They rusted through, I gather.

    Does anyone know a good supplier of exhaust systems? How model specific are exhaust systems? Could I buy any old 4to2 system and throw it on there? Probably not, I'd guess.

    Is it unsafe to ride with them in that condition? Got a long trip coming up in a couple days, don't really want to postpone.

    you can ride with holes in the exhausts, maybe noisy & lose power.
    there are companies that just produce exhaust systems, for all bikes, or find some good s-hand from the same model, some will fit more than 1 model.

    Each pipe has a small drain hole on the bottom. I believe just ahead of the mufflers. They are to let condensation out so the pipes don't rust out. A bit at start up (especially on a cold day) is normal.
