Buell X1, big check up, when your exhaust pipe connection looks like this, the clamp was not clamping , and will leave rattleling scuff marks.

 

Buell X1, big check up, problem, original clamp used with smaller diameter pipe, so the clamp can not be tighten furter, but still is to loose, easy fix with a good fitting clamp.
