Title: A pipe fitment question
Post by: puffy on April 30, 2008, 01:29:28 AM

I have a 91 k5 with the old style cylinder.I need a new pipe. Do I buy a pipe for a 91 or for the old style cylinder?

What year cylinder? I ran a FMF Gnarly pipe 89-2004 model bikes on my 87 500 with zero issues.

My 87 had the bolt on cooling nipples. But I'm unsure if 86 or even 88 had those.
