165 pipe guard ?

[Kisor372]

In need of a WB "wally bean" 165 pipe guard.
If anyone knows where i can get one let me know please
Thanks in advance!

someone else chime in this but almost certain the 165 pipe is a modified FMF KTM200 pipe so the profile of the chamber should be the same , or close enough. Ajax knows the exact deal with this

its just a ktm 200 pipe with different flange....

The only reason it has my name on it is that at the time they didn't make a CF pipe guard for the FMF 03/04 Ktm 200 SX fatty. I donated a pipe so they could get a mold made.

Ahh don't be so modest Walt u deserve ya name on that guard. Should probably have your initials etched into the 165 pistons too!

With a Walt Smith P3 guard I have dome King of the Moto 3 times on the 165 no damage to the pipe This year I rode my TE 300 with a P3 guard and finished with no damage to the pipe.

No, you need a pipe guard before that happened
I'm ordering the Moose ali guard, because I can't stand to pay the price for the P3. Tusk ali guard is cheaper and will work too.

You guys are so funny You spend thousands on a bike then go cheap to protect it P3 guards are great and work Who really cares what it cost if it works

 

[NCSteve]

Let's see, P3 @ $150, Moose ali @ $50 and works fine. I care, I'd rather spend that $100 on fuel or needed parts.

choice is wide open support US manufacturing from P3 or China manufacturing........not pointing fingers, I have 2 pipe guards 1 P3 that was gifted to me from ex 2 stroker and a parts unlimited e-line accessories----( I believe china built one). As for me I think what they are good for is preventing dents in the chamber which is a good thing, however when a hard hit happens the entire pipe gets all bent back, but again still runs. I have 4 pipes stacked and ready for pipe repair all were wearing CF pipe guards

I avoid imported/China stuff as much as possible. Looks like the Eline stuff is imported. P3 parts are trick.
Moose aluminum guard is US made, btw:

Not easy to go CF on an ali budget

Back in the day, Pirie's made the E-Line stuff for Kevin Hines. When Parts Unlimited got involved, they wanted a bigger margin. They made Kevin put pressure on Lindsay and Eric, to cut prices and quality.... They said they couldn't and E-Line went to China.

Good point, the only pipe I've mangled to the point of me not being able to repair it, was an fmf with a pipe guard. It slid into a 4" tree at 3 km/h and pushed the whole pipe back.

I can fix dents, but pretty tough to re-shape a pipe with limited tools.

I personally dont like CF guards but its a personally preference.... I dont run a guard just because dents come out easy enough and none of the guards stop the bending of the whole pipe....
