--- Quote ---A buddy called Service Honda to buy one, they wouldn't sell him one. Offered to sell him a CR pipe and he could make his own.

The operator at the moment had to be confused, sorry for that !
if anyone calls,
ask for someone who knows that the KX pipes are for sale.


--- Quote ---Have you gotten the fitment situation resolved? I bought one and had to mod it quite a bit to get it to fit, it was still easier than making a KX pipe fit.

please don't take this wrong, ,but that's an odd statement ?..
;)

As  mentioned up thread.. (or perhaps another thread)

The Service Kawasaki FMF KX500AF pipe and silencers,
are made specifically to fit my KX500AF bikes.
They fit great and perform very well.

(granted , our engne placement/rad placement rad hose routing etc etc ,,maybe quite different than someone elses)


i am willing to sell someone building ther own  conversion a pipe,
but they are told when i sell it that on thier own  conversion
,that i of course cannot gurantee fitment,.
nor would i want to resolve that fitment ?
it wouldnt fit my bikes then? !! ;)


Glad you got it to work for you.

BDI:
If some one is building their own KX500 AF the best thing you could do is buy a pipe from AJ first and build the bike to fit the pipe.

If you are going to build your own pipe all you need is time. I used a FMF Fatty and a Late mod CR500 silencer (Pro Circuit). After you cut few welds and twist a little you will be surprised how little material has to be finessed. Did I say time? If you are not real good you might need 3 or 4 FMF Fatties. Take a look.

Dutchie.....Yes I could have built it out of anything. I liked the way the Procircuit silencer looked and since the cr500 had the right pipe configuration I didn't have to modify it much, only the mounting brackets. I used the FMF Fatty because it came with the kx500 donor. Cheap right....not counting 6 hours of labor! :-D
