Riva Red Exhaust (WaveBlaster) - Bracket to attach to the head

[oholmes]

Hello,

I believe that Riva used to make a bracket that attached their Red Exhaust to head of the Wave Blaster.

I have an ADA girdled head and the ADA exhaust mount, but this doesn't provide the correct bolt holes for the exhaust bolts. The standard head-to-exhaust mount doesn't fit with the girdled head.

Does anyone know if Riva did/do make this bracket?

If so, does anyone know where I can get one?

Or, does anyone have one they would like to sell to me?

Many thanks,
Oliver.

Sorry, dont know where you can get one now, but this is a billet one made to fit the Riva Red pipe to a Pro-Tec Cylinder head. This was on a ski I sold recently.

Excellent, at least I wasn't dreaming up this part. That's pretty much what I was trying to describe. I'll keep my fingers crossed that someone else knows where I can get one from now.

Thanks, Oliver.

I think since you're using an ADA head, this bracket they make will work for you: http://www.adaracing.com/viewitem.php?id=yexbrkt-2l&maincat=all

Unfortunatly that's what I was hoping too. I've got one of these on the head already and it creates a slightly raised platform to bolt the exhaust to vertically, but not horizontally as is needed for the Riva exhaust. I'm hoping that I'll be able to find something similar to yours (your old one) that will fit onto this platform. Fingers crossed.

Here's a photo of the ADA exhaust mount bolted onto the head. Thought it would be easier to show how it mounts than trying it explain.

cant you use the bracket from the stock exhaust

i'm in the same boat, i am going to try cutting up a stock mount to make it work, but if you find another route to go let me know.

Not quite... The original bracket is built to wrap around the sides of the standard head and barrel. With the girdled head it doesn't match up properly.

I think this is the way I am going to have to go too, either that or get someone to make one for me.

sorry on bringing up an old thread. Just ran into this when trying to remount the riva red pipe back into my superjet after installing a sexy ADA girdled head. It uses the stock exhaust bracket and does not fit even with the ADA exhaust bracket in unison with it. What does one do to get out on the water!!??

Is the pipe ok to run with that stock bracket? or is there supposed to be a bracket specifically made for the RIVA?? Didnt give me problems first year of riding....

Go get some beers and start grinding away on the stock bracket to make the clearance

 

[gregfi]

damn sounds gayyy.. but awesome at the same time? Is that truly the solution?

 

[JT_Freeride]

Terrible pic but that's what I had to do. And I'm pretty certain that's the only way
