Where to find a carbon fiber pipe gaurd???

Post by Micah »

Hi, does anyone have an idea where I can find a carbon fiber pipe gaurd for a fmf woods pipe. Having a hard time tracking one down. Seems as if they don't make them. But I have seen others with kdx's with them. Maybe another make or model would work on my bike. Any advice? 2001 kdx 200

I believe E-line make a carbon fiber guard for the FMF woods pipe ...Hyde make a tough plastic guard that also incorporate a skid plate.....they aren't the prettiest but are tough as .

A buddy has the all in one and cracked his so I'm steering away from plastic skidplates.

I decided to make my own.

I made one using a Bondo fiberglass kit. It was easy, taking less than an hour. I used my angle grinder with a flap sander to smooth it out. Rode with it yesterday and it melted in some areas near the first bend. I should have coated the inside aluminum foil with silicone.
