    His prices look good, but he doesn't seem to list my bike, do you know if he does individual models by request?

    Is it logical that since the WR and XC frames are the same part number, that the pipes should interchange?

    wr and xc will be same motor on most lc huskies. a cr pipe will bolt up as well but the cr pipe will be a lil different tuning. a wr or xc pipe should be same in your case

    Usually the WR pipes have shielding wrapped around portions of the chamber. I would imagine that carried through 1987 at least

    all base pipes for 1985-1988 400 and 430 are the same as in no difference
    the mounts are different, you can cut them and move them or just use the mount for that year pipe
    they will fit with no issues, i have 8 pipes laying around

    Well I managed to win a pipe on Ebay US, it's an Uptite Racing product that will require a little massaging of minor dents but overall not in bad shape. It is from a 1987 XC430, I have never had any experience with this brand, does anyone else know what they are like?

    Up-Tite products are awesome. everything George makes is quality stuff. my 87XC came with an Up-Tite pipe on it. and that bike really hauled the Mail.
