Pacific pipe repair: Before and After

KKXR400R · #1 09-12-2007, 10:46 AM

As some of you know I twisted up my pipe a while back and was going to send it to Pacific Crest Pipe Repair. I'm very pleased with the way it came out. Heres some pics. I did race this weekend and did some bushwacking so thats why it looks a little dirty. Enjoy

They should give you a discount for showing how good their work was!
It looks great!

How did it work out cost wise? cheaper than a new pipe.

They normally charge $50 per pipe, no matter how mangled it is.

With an air compressor and a torch.

That's just amazing they could salvage the pipe. That sucker was smashed!

I wrapped that pipe up on the 2nd or 3rd ride. In fact I had just did a rebuild project on it....I almost cried when I saw what happened cause it was brand new!

In the end I paid around $75 because of the shipping. Pipes for my bike are running around 180-210 depending on availability. Being that I race desert I get dings in the pipe almost every race out. I plan on buying another back up pipe in a few months...this will make 3

I played the smart guy and sent Bret a pic before I sent it up there. He said "no problem, I have seen and fixed much worse."

Heres the original thread about my crash.
Big Crash....broken bike

That could be the nastiest dent I have ever seen in a two stroke pipe. They did a great job. I was going to send them a pipe I had a while back, but it turns out a guy I ride with sometimes made his own set up for getting dents out of pipes and he did it for free.

Were you inured in that crash?
