    That is a great example oldbikedude! I like the look of the pipe, for comparison, did you ride it before this pipe was fitted? I am beginning to think that I have stumbled onto the ideal pipe for my Husky.

    I spoke with George Erl earlier this week regarding another Husky subject. During the course of our conversation he did mention that he was making pipes again. George is kinda of like the Mr Husky of Southern California, very knowledgeable and friendly.

    I Have ridden 2 430's with that pipe & the stock pipe. This one just brings the engine alive.....don't the remember jetting though. I think you have the desirable pipe for that engine. Good find.

    i put one on to replace the stock one, power is greater across the board, but the top is way smoother as the stock one chokes on the powerband

    Well, looking at the USPS tracking, it took three days from San Francisco to Sydney, arrived on the 11th of August, now the 14th here in Australia and still no movement beyond the Sydney sorting facility! I live about 350 kms (250 miles) from Sydney!
    Australia Post......where "FRAGILE" means "THROW UNDER-ARM"!
    Not that I can ride the bike yet anyway, but if I were waiting on this part to ride it..........

    I sent a KTM exhaust to Australia once and the mail man threw the box in the bushes next to the customers house. it was there for about three weeks before he found it. box was wet with a hole in it. when he opened the box there was the exhaust and some kind of poisonous snake in it.

    Not sure 2premo, I have never tried them but I hear that they taste like chicken!
    That one is an Eastern Brown (deadly) snake, we also get Tiger (deadly) snakes and Red Bellied Black (not so bad but will make you very crook) snakes around these parts as well. Won't be long and spring will be here and the snake season begins again.
