The pipe will fit your bike your just not trying hard enough.
My 2000 has a pipe from a 1990
My 97 AF has a pipe from a 2000
The only pipes that wont work are the hi style pipes from the 85-88s.

unless its tweaked.. the guy said he wasnt sure if it was or not... the inlet wont clear the frame rail by about an inch.... im thinking it got tweaked during his hillclimbing comp.....britincali wrote:The pipe will fit your bike your just not trying hard enough.

i have to use a big rubber hammer to get my pipe on and off, its bent tho
i take the manifold off, put the pipe on the manifold, then bolt it up
but its a wrestling match every time, hits the frame rail, cylinder Y and radiator, usualy takes me 20-30 minutes,
swearing is mandatory its the only way itl go on
then again my pipe is mangled
hope this helps

the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

same as mine it wont get past the ignition side frame rail, so i use the big rubber hammer a 2x4 and lots of cursing and wriggle it onoh and i wish i could get that close to the manifold.. it doesnt make it past the frame rail let alone get onto the manifold
and its tight tho, my frame rail has started race clearancing from taking the pipe on and off

i can almost throw a fatty at my 2003 250 chassis. gnarly is tighter cuz it hits the water drain casting on the jug going in, but has plenty of room once its in place

thanks.. i seen that the other night... without heat theres no way im gonna be able to bend this pipe... its double walled/reinforced right where it needs bent
you don't necessarily need heat. That reinforcement on the Gnarly is nearly pointless, since all of them crack anyhow. Give it a go with a longer rod!qkenuf4u wrote: hey

The CR500 is an acquired taste. If you don't like it, acquire some taste...
