Hi guys
           when i had my kx500 in 88 i had a sletchen pipe ( i think that was the spelling) does any body remember them or what happened to the company perhaps its now hgs???

DoldGuy:
Sletchen became known as SPES & to my knowledge it has become his sons business now known as DEP(?). About a decade ago Billy Liles was the importer for the SPES pipes here in the USA & I purchased one for my KX250 (still have it I think).

kawboy:
I had one on my '93 500. The bike was stolen in June of 2008. The pipe will be one of the positive identifiers. It was one of the great Danny Hamel's. It had SPES stamped in it. It had great low end but kind of fell off on the top. If anybody ever runs across one for sell please let me know.

Dutch-K5 Fan:
Slechten and Spes are/ were Belgium brands, DEP is from the UK.  :? :?

Isn't Doma the new name???  And what Iv? heard that the Exhausts of Rino are made by SPES?


I would like to know what happend to Spes. They  made a lowboy version of there KX500 pipe!!!!
So maybe there are still molds for them :-).
