Works pipe?

(1/2) > >>

Rotorised:
Hey guys has anyone used the pro circuit works pipe before?

Do they rust as quickly as they look like they would?  :?

hughes:
Yes they rust, works pipe required maintenance. Scotch brite pad,steel wool and wd-40. For off road use the plated pipes are better. The works pipe will get stained from mud and requires wd-40 and elbow grease with scotch brite pad to clean the pipe. Can't beat the looks of works pipe but they are better used on motocross tracks where most of the time you only have dust or light, light mud to deal with.

Rotorised:
Cheers, I keep telling myself I would be able to keep it clean but chances are it would be a rusted mess inside a week. hahahaha

Platypus:
I had one an 87 CR250 many moons ago and it was difficult to keep clean.  I took it down to Ensenada in Baja California and rode for a couple days and it looked like it had 30 years of rust on it.

All I run are the PC works pipes, they look so much better than the plated pipes. If you take care of them they don't rust, that means wash your bike and WD-40 it right away, if you leave mud on it can stain it. Naval Jelly works wonders on light rust, no elbow grease, but you have to take it off, and as an added bonus you get that white metal look with the seams darker. As far as plated pipes, if you run in rocks they get little dings, not dents just enough to rupture the plating, then they rust in those spots.

For me it's Works all the way, my .02
