P3 carbon pipe guard
P3 (Pirie Performance Products) will soon have a carbon fibre pipe guard for the OEM 07-09 Gas Gas pipes (the FMF Gnarly pipe they already have one for) This is the pipe that has the GG stamped on it.
I am supplying them with my OEM GG pipe and he will build the mold for the guards. I am also supplying them with an E-Line guard for comparison purposes. P3 if you aren't familiar with them used to build the E-Line carbon fiber products before E-Line farmed it out to China I believe. HANDS DOWN the P3 stuff is superior to the E-Line stuff now. Usually thicker and with more coverage as well. I'll keep you posted when it's ready and if there are any other protective parts you would like made for the Gassers let me know and I'll talk to them about it. http://pirieperfprod.com/

They look really good. I would like to get one for my Gnarly and the Doma.

I'm interested, but not holding my breathe. In my experience (with an eline guard from 03 or 04), carbon fiber is not durable enough to be used as a pipe guard or skid plate. It also offers nothing to protect a pipe from getting kinked.

When it's done I'll take some pics comparing the P3 to the E-Line.

Its too bad Les doesn't make the CF guards anymore, his were far better than the older ELine. They weren't as shiny but there was a lot more carbon fiber in the correct configuration. Mine took a beating. I've had several Eline guards, and while decent when new, the resin breaks down over time from the beating and the carbon cloth flexes in on a hit, denting the pipe. You remove a seemingly servicable pipe guard to find a dented pipe. They also sometimes make damage worse by kinking the header, and trap mud and water that rusts the pipe if not removed and cleaned. But, I'd still choose one over nothing.
The Hyde is not perfect but its the closest. Once I'm healed enough to lift the bike off the stand I'll start re-engineering the mounts to make life eaiser. In the meantime, if you use a few pieces of foam, it stays clean enough to not require removal. |

Glen, how is the Hyde guard. I am using an E-line cf and i hate it. The pipe gets dents under the guard and now it cracked. Junk!!!!!!
The Hyde pipe protector/skid plate combo looks a little goofy but may be the ticket. Has any one run this combo???? |
