the bike looks great

did the shroud decals work out for you ?
(I had bought a set from china and the mounting holes were way off)

I see you have the same issue lining up seams on seat covers I do :roll:

how does the pipe look under the tape ?
dents ?

I take it the shorty does not have a spark arrestor ?

and what would you want for it ?

Decals worked well. I cleaned the new plastic with alchohol, heated the panels and the decals with a heat gun then wet the surface with a water mixture consisting of 1 quart distilled water to 2 drops dishwashing liquid and 1 teaspoon rubbing alchohol. I learned that trick from a sign guy. Line up the holes and peel back one corner to start and then work tour way across. If you have any air bubbles you can cut with a razor blade and press the air out.

Yes there are a few dents in the pipe, see the before pics.

yeah, the issue I had wasn't installing them, it was just a matter of them not having the holes cut out in the right spot


I did see the dents now, looks pretty rough but then again, I like a challenge
shipping?

So it/they still works fine but has a rather big "cosmetic" problem? How much would you be willing to let them go for?

depends on how much shipping will be
could you get me a quote to Holland MI 49424 ?

but in all honousty, I don't really need a pipe so if bitty needs it it wouldn't hurt my feelings
(my 220 still runs a stock pipe and ive been meaning to try that whole dent removal thing so that's why I want it)

I'd definitely be interested for 25$. I just want to confirm that both the pipe and silencer would fit a pre 95 KDX 200. I have a 1992 KDX 200 SR, so just want to make sure they fit ALL KDXs (pre/post 95 and 200/220).

I see the pipe is a Gnarly, but is it a Gnarly Woods or Desert (Torque/Rev respectively if I understand)? And what brand/model is the silencer? How often does it require packing? You figure that rust will come off with some phosphoric acid, scotch brites/sand paper and a bit of elbow grease or has it "set"? Sorry for asking so many question... It's fricking 25$ after all... Even with a few dents it'll probably be better than stock. I can try to fix them later on.

Yes, I would guess it might not fit ty air cooled KDX. It is the woods pipe and the silencer is an fmf Shorty. Not sure about packing. Some of rust is set in.
