P3 carbon pipe guard

[mlbco]

I received my P3 pipe guard today! It is very nicely built and fits well enough (I can't say for sure since I already bent my pipe a little). I ordered it 25 days ago.

P3 is a pretty good gaurd with excellent coverage and fit although I think that it is only the top layer that is carbon fibre the inner layers are just Fibreglass (correct me if Im wrong)

took 8 weeks and several E-mails to finally get mine here in Aussie

If I had another option I wouldnt use P3 again

My 2 cents

Mine took about a week from order. Eric returned my call for the order within a day or so. Compared to the other carbon guards the P3 is a better product in my opinion. Much better coverage on the pipe and thicker construction. Look at some other carbon guards and see how much of the pipe is not covered.

I finally go my P3 guard installed. Thanks Steve (aka TwoWheels) for the GREAT Customer service!!!!
Currently the guard looks great!!!
High end quality and in my opinion a lot better then the E-Line ones.
See pics below......won't look this nice for long.

That guard looks good! I have been trying to decide on a guard. After being on a 4 strk for several years, I feel like the pipe is just calling to be smashed

Don't forget the lower mount bolt.

250hrs on my P3. Definitely saved the pipe from my fair share of drops. Few scarfs out of the RHS of it. Cosmetically the pipe gets surface rust happening beneath the guard. Physically the pipe will still fail under a solid blow into a hard object. I've tweaked mine a few times now. Broken the lower mount (frame tab) once, and been through about 3 upper mounts where the rubber sheers from the tab.

Agree with Jakobi, just need to realign neck of pipe (near engine) from time to time, not too difficult once you done it once.

Hit an embedded rock the other day with it that resulted in the bike pivoting 180degrees and the pipe is still ok, and my guard has scars to show

Curious if you have to take the guard off each wash and clean crud so that does not result in rust on pipe?

I never bothered. Seems over the top to me. I only take my bash plate off every couple of rides to wash the under side of the engine and frame rails properly and thats only 1 bolt to get off.

Basically its only cosmetic. I'd say more of a tarnishing that cancerous rust. Here's a pic of my pipe after 150hrs with the P3 on. This is after I cleaned it up with some steel wool and polish.
