64941-01.
65388-95
65747-94
I've saved all 3 of these and next time someone asks about this, I will post them.
Routy - No. I just gave my part number. I wouldn't call it an "exact" or "perfect" fit, but we made it work. I'm very picky, so me saying that we made it work, isn't something I do lightly. We used an extension piece to get the tip further back, and to accomodate the difference in OD/ID at the connection. I also have a bit of an exhaust leak, which I haven't fixed yet, but I'm not too concerned about, until I need to do something else to the bike. I won't use a pop can... I think another slit or two in the extension piece will allow the clamp to close better. Just guessing though. I can tell you that I don't have a 7° kink. I can't tell you exactly how straight mine is, but I should be able to take a picture this evening like the other ones we have seen, to compare the angle.
