Hello! Recently bought an 80cc build on Craigslist to use for my commute to class every day. It needed a ton of work, and I'm almost done, except it's loud as s**t and I want it a bit quieter. The kid I bought it from did not have the stock exhaust anymore, so I ordered this exhaust from Amazon (will be here tomorrow): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MNK316W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
However, I just went to check it out and it looks like one of the mounting holes by the exhaust has some sort of stud stuck in it, or a broken/absolutely-demolished-and-no-longer-resembles-a-bolt bolt with no head. I can't get it out for anything. It also looks like the hole this "stud" is in is smaller than the other one?
This is my first time ever working with a motorized bike, and was just curious if anyone had ideas on how to mount this thing. I was thinking about using the one hole I have to mount it, maybe finding some way to glue it on the other side, and then attaching it to the frame at another point. However, I have no clue what size that hole is and even less of a clue as to what kind of glue I'd use for something like this. Any suggestions are appreciated!
Also, any suggestions on things to watch out for with this being a used bike would be appreciated! Trying not to die on the way to class, that's my professors' jobs
