GL1500 Enter The Wing Part 4- Exhaust Removalinstall 

This video is HUGE for me. I have a collector box that basically broke (my fault -- I was trying to carefully move the muffler exhaust pipe on the right side, to shift it down out of the way when I was trying to get at the bolt for the Final Drive oil change... Pushed too hard and whoops! Snapped the collector box. DARN!!!! (Insert several swear words here...!) Thankfully I have a cadaver bike as well but I was stumped on how to get the collector box down without necessarily having to take the entire exhaust system down. Unfortunately, watching your video clarified that indeed the whole thing will have to come down; but -- #1 now I know; #2 I know what else is needed (exhaust pipe gaskets!, etc) to do the job correctly. Yup, more time wrenching, but I'll have this bike good as new when I'm done with it and hopefully will keep it on the roads for several more years with a little TLC. Thanks for taking the time to put this together for us weekend warriors! :-) Sure do appreciate it!

Just wanted to say that you do a great job explaining working on these Wings as you go. My current Wing is a ‘95 SE anniversary bike in the same color red as yours. This is my first GL1500 although I’ve had a ‘78 GL1000 and a ‘84 Interstate, as well as a ‘08 HD Ultra Classic. I am enjoying watching your videos as I am learning my own 1500.

Great video. I'm right in the middle of all this myself. Getting ready to go back together. What did you use for the gasket tack? It looks like the old 3m yellow snot,,,lol. Thanks

My muffler is stuck tight where the clamp was. Any tips for getting it loose? I hit it with a rubber mallet but it didn’t help. Thanks for the video’s.

I’m in the process of only removing the left header to replace my shifter gasket. I don’t see that specific part in your video. I tried to remove it only but there is not enough room and I don’t want to force it. Are you sure I can only remove the left header by itself without removing the collector box or do I at least have to loosen the collector box to get more flexibility?
