    Just picked up a low hour 175wr ,the guy had taken it apart to put in rings and lost the pipe in a move. The bike is complete less the pipe even had the full tool kit unused . Any idea were to find a pipe or does anything interchange? This is the gp motor with the extra transfer ports

    The pipe from a 75 or 76 125 WR(if they were made) should be the same. The only difference between the 125 and 175 is the bore size in the same cylinder.

    Good luck finding either. You can check on eBay and Craig's List but I do not think they sold in big numbers because the 175 disappeared for a few years. You might find one at hva-factory.com or have one built. You can try to adapt a thru the frame pipe from a PE175 Suzuki or KDX175 Kawasaki. Or maybe one from a Yamaha IT175 or 200.

    Those old left side pipes are the hardest to find replacements for.

    Give Vintage Husky a try. John has many used parts from bikes people have given him over the years. Be aware, hes not giving the stuff away.

    Pics! We need pics!

    I agree with Surprise... spend a few dollars on a well-designed pipe. I picked up an 82 175 recently and have been learning. Seems the 175 really needs it's own pipe rather than trying to share a 125 design.
