    I installed the P3 Pipe Guard last night. What do you all think? Don't pull punches.

    Thought it would cover more along the front.

    It does seem to be more a 'heat shield' and less a 'pipe guard'

    The one I got a month or so ago covers 2-3" more of the pipe near the cylinder.

    It's like icecream these days. The price goes up and the size of the container goes down. By the way, it looks pretty good. It should work fine...:thumbsup:

    Would that have been from the pre-buyout time? If the new one have that type of coverage I'd go with the E-Line instead.

    Thanks, but I don't think it will.

    Edit: I don't think it will work for me as is.

    I hate to think that's the case of clearing out old inventory/nonconforming material. I'm hoping I received a mis-identified pipe guard.

    I think there should be more frontal coverage for protection.

    Carbon Fiber products are Artwork in my mind, and require focused skill to put the ingredients together. On the guard I received the laminate work appear very good, but I don't have access to Radiography so I can't comment about subsurface work. The overall end-item quality is ok.

    Was it for the 2013 WR125/144 with FMF Fatty?

    Yeah it looks great. Did it go right on without undo pushing, pulling, and twisting? That's what I hate about the E-Line is that there is only one 125 pipe guard that is supposed to be jammed onto whatever 125 pipe you have via the hose clamps.

    My bike is a 09 with FMF 200 KTM Fatty. As far as I know it should be the same guard.:excuseme:
    Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    The 200 guard is different . I have a couple of the P3 125 guards that are a few years old , and they look the same. They have been tested and work fine . I crash tested a Eline on my GG and it broke right in half , the P3 is in a comepletely different league.

    E-Line is now made off shore and junk at this point. It was good when Pirie's made it for E-Line.

    No. It was a struggle to get a "best fit". If formed using the correct mold, I think it should install with minimum effort.

    Well, I sent email with pictures to P3 Support explaining my concerns. I'm hoping to hear from them soon.

    I wish the pipe guard I received provided frontal protection like these in the pictures...
