Hello, have any of you swapped out your stock exhaust caps? If so were you able to get them off without removing the whole exhaust? Looks like there is a hex bolt on the inside of the caps close to the frame of the bike so I'm wondering if I need to take the whole exhaust off or find a special really short hex wrench to do that. Thanks!

I cut back the short end of an Allen key to get it to fit in the space and got it off easy. Getting the screw back in and started so I could tighten it up took a few tries!

Thanks! I'll try that. What did you use to cut it? Think a hack saw will work?

A hack saw will work if you have a vice, I used a cordless angle grinder myself.

Got it! Thanks a bunch. You weren't kidding about how hard it was to get the screw back in place.
