Hi all
    I have a 1999 tourer and I really lOVE the sound of my factory exhaust, i'm not interested in changing it out. But the problem I have is that the end of the exhaust pipes do not extend past the saddle bags and while i'm in stop and go traffic or stopped at a red light I smell the exhaust fumes. It's coming out the pipe and rolling under the saddle bag and exiting at the front of the saddlebag. I verified that it is coming from under the saddlebags I do not have an exhaust leak around the engine. 
 Does any one know if there is a replacement tip I can install that will extend the exhaust to the end of the saddlebag with out too much modification?

Thanks Keith

There's a weep hole on each pipe that you can see first thing in the morning
when you crank it up, before it stops smoking. Crank it up with the choke on,
and stand back and look, you should be able to see it right away... They point straight down,
and are right under you... might be coming from there...

I thought I had a picture, but my file called "choke" turns out to be this  Grin
