My track blew off last year on my SXR700 and gouged my front exchanger really badly (while on my track stand which flew 300 ft. in the air).
I bought a used exchanger (Viperlover) at Haydays and looked at doing the work myself. But when I realized that my water pump seal was actually leaking too, I just took the whole thing to my local Motorsports shop and had them change the exchanger and the pump seals. It was around $400.00 and I had everything out of their way to minimize the cost (track, drive shaft etc.). They actually found that one of the studs had screwed up the motor mount stud and I had to put in a new mount too!
I feel safe that it's not going to leak out on me in the middle of nowhere now.
I would NOT trust JBWeld!!
