A little about the bike 1990 KX500, FMF Gnarly Pipe, FMF Turbine Core silencer, BRP Billet silencer mount and Chain Guide Guard (both on closeout, check it out!), and Renthall bars. Next project will be the repair of the upper expansion chamber mount.

Welcome!  I bought those same two parts from them on closeout!  I ended up switching to their new fandangoed all plastic one though.  When I first bought my bike I failed to check the bolts on the chain guide and after a little ride I noticed it was half way up the top of the swingarm, never heard or felt it.  I wonder if I would have noticed that it had come off on a 250.  Since I learned to religiously check bolts on the 500 I have not had a single problem.  I had too much faith in the previous owner loctiting all the bolts.  Turned out there were some new ones he had put in and did not loctite.  I bought mine with a broken upper pipe mount and chose to ride it before fixing it and ended up with the lower mount on the pipe snapping.  I could not wait....it was worth it though.  Good luck on the rehab project.

FactoryPhil:
Thanks guys! I wish the project was going a little faster but work has been pretty slow and I am 100% commission. I am sure it will be done before things cool off. Hopefully I will get to meet some new friends at the dunes!!
